Provincial police Sgt. Eloise Cossette says authorities were informed this morning that a group is claiming responsibility for the blast.
She would not name the group, but Montreal La Presse says a group called "Resistance internationaliste" sent the newspaper a communique this morning claiming responsibility for the explosion.
The group says it's opposed to the practices and military ideals of the Canadian state.
Cossette says the municipal force in Trois-Rivieres received the threat in the minutes before the blast."
The glass doors of the recruitment centre were blown out and police sent a bomb squad and a canine unit to the scene.
