An elementary school in Greenfield Park on Montreal’s South Shore is closed after it was the target of an alleged arson attack Sunday evening.

Longueuil police (SPAL) received a call at 6:15 p.m. about a fire at l’école primaire internationale de Greenfield Park.

“We have reason to believe the fire was criminally set,” said François Boucher, a spokesperson with Longueuil police. “The scene has been protected to allow investigators to analyze the scene.”

He adds that though it wasn’t a “major” fire, work is still being done to ensure that the building is structurally sound before it reopens.

There were no reported injuries and the investigation is ongoing.
