Grenade found in Quebec campground did not contain explosives, armed forces say

MONTREAL — A spokesperson for the Canadian Armed Forces says a grenade found at a Quebec campground on Tuesday was inert and did not contain explosives.

Abygail Bourgault-Lévesque says the grenade was transported to the Valcartier military base after a team of specialists determined that it posed no danger to the public.

She says it will be safely disposed of at a future time.

Quebec provincial police called the armed forces after a person found the grenade and brought it to a building at the Lac Cristal campground in St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Que., on Tuesday morning.
