National Missing Persons Day is a day every year that puts emphasis on missing person cases across the country.

The RCMP reports that in any given year, approximately 70,000 to 80,000 people are reported missing across the country.


According to the 2021 fact sheet provided by the Program Research and Development Unit (PDRU) for The National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains (NCMPUR) in Canada, 53% of all missing persons reports (all sexes, adults and children) involved adults, while 56% of missing adult reports in 2021 involved males.

The data is compiled from missing person transactions in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC).

In 2021, data shows that in Saskatchewan, a total of 1,576 adults were reported missing.

It shows that three females and four males were abducted by a stranger, while individuals that wandered off and were reported missing account for 30 females and 41 males.

326 females and 192 males were considered runaways.

60% of missing adult reports in 2021 were removed within 24 hours, while 89% were removed within a week.

In the same year, 3,851 child subjects were reported missing in Saskatchewan.

Of the 3,851, three females and one male were abducted by a stranger, two females and one male were a case of parental abduction with a custody order, and one male and one female were a case of parental abduction without a custody order.

The data displays that runaways account for 2,064 females and 1,111 males, while one female is presumed dead.

67% of missing children/youth reports in 2021 were removed within 24 hours, while 92% were removed within a week.

25 female missing children/youth subjects were related to human trafficking, 23 (92%) of which were in Ontario.

59% of all missing children/youth reports in 2021 involved females.

In 2021, Manitoba had the highest number of missing children/youths reports per capita, with 375 reports per 100,000 people, followed by Saskatchewan with 331 reports per 100,000 people. Prince Edward Island and Nunavut had the lowest, with between two to three (2-3) reports per 100,000 people.
