Missing Persons Week is being observed in Saskatchewan, April 27 to May 3, 2025.
The theme is “Coming Together for Hope.”
The province has 146 long-term missing persons as of April 25. The Saskatchewan RCMP investigated over 2,750 missing persons cases in 2024 and noted that while most were found, there is still the anguish for families and friends as a result of those who are still missing.
– this doesn’t include those investigated by other police services in the province.
“Missing Persons Week is an important initiative that allows us to join together as a province to honour each individual who is missing and provide support to their loved ones,” said Justice Minister and Attorney General Tim McLeod.
The event serves to raise awareness about missing persons and the work being done to support prevention, safety tools and responses. It recognizes the organizations that deliver support for families, communities and those working to bring home the missing.
“Missing Persons Week is a chance to renew our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of all residents, especially women and girls,” said Minister Responsible for Status of Women Alana Ross said.
Events and information will be shared throughout the week by the Saskatchewan Missing Persons Partnership (SMPP) and member organizations. Please follow the SMPP social media channels for further information.
More information on the supports available to families of missing persons is available online.
Missing Persons Week has been proclaimed in Saskatchewan every year since 2013.
