It鈥檚 out of character for the pair to be out of touch with friends and family for this long, police said, drawing great concern.

鈥淲e would like to encourage anyone with information, no matter how large or small, to contact the RCMP,鈥� said Const. Meighan de Pass, media relations officer for the Sidney North Saanich RCMP.

鈥淲e do not monitor social media and posting your information on Facebook or a similar platform does not ensure it reaches us.鈥�

Anyone with information, specifically those living in Vernon or the surrounding Okanagan region is asked to call the Sidney North Saanich RCMP at 250-656-3931.
