Every second counts when a child is missing.

In 2025, 34,189 children were reported missing in Canada. This statistic represents children, families, and communities hoping for answers.

Why does this day matter?

Missing Children’s Day is a moment to reflect. Let’s honour children who have been found, remember those still missing, and support the ongoing work to bring them home. Hope is powerful, but awareness and action are even stronger.

Canada’s Missing shares photos and important details about missing persons across the country. If you recognize something, even if you might think it’s the smallest of details, please submit a tip. Investigators review every tip that comes in.

Let’s search for them until they are home.
