Government of Saskatchewan Proclaims Missing Persons Week

Released on April 28, 2025

The Government of Saskatchewan has declared April 27 to May 3, 2025, as Missing Persons Week in the province, in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Missing Persons Partnership (SMPP). This year's theme is "Coming Together for Hope."

This morning, Justice Minister and Attorney General Tim McLeod, Minister Responsible for the Status of Women's Office Alana Ross and RCMP Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore joined with community leaders and families to honour the province's more than 140 long-term missing persons. 

"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," McLeod said. "We thank the SMPP and partner organizations for their continued advocacy and work throughout the province to address the issue of long-term missing persons, while we seek to prevent any further cases." 

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.

The event is followed by the third annual Walk to Honour the Missing in Wascana Centre. The walk concludes at the Missing Persons Tree and Bench in Arboretum Park. Families are invited to place flowers in honour of their loved ones, a sign that they will never be forgotten.

“Missing Persons Week is a chance to renew our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of all residents, especially women and girls,” Minister Responsible for Status of Women Alana Ross said. “Let’s continue to raise awareness about missing persons, honour them and support their families.”

Missing Persons Week has been proclaimed in Saskatchewan every year since 2013 and is organized by the SMPP, which is a unique collaboration between government, police agencies, Indigenous and community-based organizations. The SMPP helps raise awareness about missing persons issues, works to coordinate policies and legislation, shares prevention and safety tools and supports agencies that provide services to families when people do go missing.  

Events and information will be shared throughout the week by SMPP member organizations. Please follow the SMPP social media channels for further information.
