Around $2,444 is believed to be in the safe, said an RCMP news release.

Police are asking for tips from anyone who saw suspicious activity around the white, two-floor building on the corner of Hanson and Fourth Avenue, known as the Selwyn Block.

The head of the society, Michael I. Winstanley, could not be reached for comment before press time.
