Calgary police temporarily restricted access to parts of Nose Hill Park over the weekend as they continue searching for an 11-year-old autistic boy who went missing earlier this month.
The boy, identified as Parker, is non-verbal and was last seen on July 16. He vanished from a care facility in the city's north end.
Search Operations
Law enforcement shut down the northwestern park entrance on Saturday and reopened the area Sunday evening after completing targeted search operations.
The search has now entered its 12th day.
Hundreds of community volunteers and police officers have been systematically searching residential backyards, structures, and outbuildings across the area.
Police representatives emphasized their commitment to finding the boy.
"We will continue to pursue every lead, examine every possibility, and we remain absolutely committed in our efforts to find Parker," said Acting Staff Sgt.
Scott Guterson of the Calgary Police Service.
Investigators continue to request assistance from the public as the search remains active.
