Police have confirmed that a suspected explosive device was later determined to be a prop.
On July 10, 2025, the Powell River RCMP received a report of a suspected explosive device at the Resource Recovery Centre on Marine Avenue in Powell River. Police and fire personnel attended the scene and, out of an abundance of caution, evacuated the facility. The area remained closed until the RCMP Explosive Disposal Unit (EDU) attended the following morning and determined that it was simply a prop made to look like an explosive device.
Investigators believe that the prop was discarded into household garbage where it was then discovered while staff processed the materials.
The precautions of evacuating and securing the area are necessary to ensure public safety, but fortunately no one was ever actually in any danger, said Sergeant Graham Kerr, of the Powell River RCMP. This incident is not believed to be a deliberate act.
