A major search effort is underway in Calgary, Alberta, as police, volunteers, and community members work urgently to locate 11-year-old Parker Wells, who has been reported missing since Thursday, July 16.
At the time he went missing, Parker was wearing grey shorts, black shoes, and black noise-cancelling headphones—details that authorities hope will help the public identify him quickly.
The Calgary Police Service has mobilized extensive resources, including search teams, drones, and coordinated volunteer efforts, as the community comes together in hopes of bringing him home safely.
Authorities are urging residents to carefully check areas where a child might seek shelter, including garages, sheds, yards, under decks, inside vehicles, vacant homes, and other small or enclosed spaces.
If Parker is seen, the public is strongly advised not to approach, chase, or call out to him, as he may become frightened. Instead, keep him in sight from a safe distance and call 911 immediately.
Officials emphasize that community awareness is critical. Sharing verified information and remaining vigilant could make the difference in locating Parker and ensuring his safe return.
Anyone with information is urged to contact emergency services right away.
