***UPDATE*** – RCMP reported shortly after midnight Sunday morning that Beeds has been located.

 

RCMP are looking for the public’s assistance in tracking down a missing 67-year-old man from a Canwood care home.

Beeds is described as an Aboriginal male, 5’3″ in height, with a slim build, grey hair and a grey mustache. He is likely wearing a plaid jacket and a baseball cap.
