The Willow Cree Healing Lodge on the Beardy’s/Okemasis reserve is dealing with its first escape of an inmate.

Officials with the facility say they first noticed 51-year-old Gordon Kambeitz was missing during a routine inmate count at 9:40 last night.

Kambeitz is serving a five-year sentence for a variety of property-related offences.

He’s 5’5″ tall, weighs 190 pounds, and has a medium complexion, brown eyes and grey hair.

This is the first time an inmate has escaped from the healing lodge since it opened in April of last year.
