FAIRVIEW, ALTA. – RCMP say a toddler who disappeared from a home in northwestern Alberta has been found safe following an overnight ground and air search.

Police say in a news release that officers with their Fairview detachment responded on Sunday night to a report of a missing two-year-old from a rural home in Clear Hills County.

Mounties called in reinforcements to help search for the child, including a search dog team, officers with drones, as well as firefighters.

They say more than 100 community volunteers also answered the call for help.

The search ended happily shortly after 6 a.m. Monday when police say a Grande Prairie Technical Search and Rescue helicopter spotted the child, who had wandered about a kilometre away from the residence.

The child was assessed, found to be in good health and reunited with their family.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 12, 2025.
