President’s Message
Dear Friends and Supporters of Child
Find Saskatchewan,
Welcome to our 2015 Annual Report.
As you read through our annual report,
I hope you will find some interesting
information on what we have done over
the last year.
In a charity such as ours there are always many challenges, some good
and some not so good and 2015 was no exception. We are still looking
for more volunteers and new Board members as we expand our missing
persons services.
As with any other year, 2015 has seen an increase in both our services
and programs. We have continued to distribute our quarterly Child Find
Alert magazine, which we began in 2013. As you read through this
annual report you will see all our services, programs, and events.
We continue to work with the many partnerships we have already
established, as well as pursue new partnerships to help us deliver our
message and protect our children and youth. The support and
cooperation of our partners over the years has not gone unnoticed. This
year we are thankful to TD Canada Trust, Dakota Dunes Community
Development Corporation, Royal Bank of Canada, Community Initiative
Fund, Yardi, Third Avenue United Church, FK Morrow Foundation,
Sasktel Telcare, in Regina, Saskatoon, and Estevan, as well as the
School Resource Officers in Regina and Moose Jaw.
It is my pleasure to express a heartfelt thanks to the Saskatchewan
Federation of Police Officers for their ongoing support; it is great to have
them in our corner. Child Find thanks all Law Enforcement Services
including the Canada/U.S. Border Crossing for their assistance in helping
us find Missing Children and Youth. A big thank you goes to IKS, Bear
Hills Media Group Inc, Larry Sydor, local businesses, the media, and the
general public for their generous financial support.
1
The Provincial Government proclaimed the month of May as Missing
Children’s month, as they have done for the last 25 years. We are very
grateful for their continued support. We also wish to thank the
Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice and Attorney General for their ongoing
financial assistance and encouragement.
For the third year, the Provincial Partnership Committee on Missing
Persons held a ceremony at the TC Douglas building in Regina on May
4th to recognize each missing individual in Saskatchewan and to bring
awareness to their cases.
We would like to thank the promoter of our first Child Find Charity
Breakfast, Assante Wealth Management (1st Avenue), whose generous
support was crucial to the success of our event. We appreciate the
support of all our sponsors and our invitees at this event.
I wish to thank the Board of Directors, our staff and all of our volunteers.
We rely on volunteers in Saskatchewan from all walks of life to use their
connections, hard work, and dedication to get our message across. It is
with their ongoing commitment that we have seen positive outcomes and
growth within Child Find over the last 31 years.
We at Child Find believe that “A Missing Person is
Everyone’s Responsibility” and “All Persons have
a right to be safe.”
Sincerely:
Phyllis Hallatt
President

WHAT WE DO
Child Find Saskatchewan is the second fan-out of the Amber Alert
System. We assist law enforcement in the search for a missing
child or person when an Amber Alert is issued. We are the only
province in Canada that will issue an Amber Alert for someone
who is missing due to Alzheimers, or a vulnerable adult who is
believed to be at risk of serious bodily harm or death.
Connecting Families is a program designed for families who are
struggling with issues due to a person who has gone missing. We offer
support and resources to assist families during their search. This
program offers emotional support by connecting families who have
experienced a similar situation. As with all our programs, Connecting
Families is a free service available to all searching families.
Child Find Saskatchewan operates and maintains a toll free, 24/7/365
crisis line to report a missing person, a tip or a sighting of a missing
person. Child Find Saskatchewan always has a staff member on call to
facilitate these calls.
ALERT Youth is an awareness program for youth 9 to 18, and is
comprised of 2 components – An I.D. Booklet and Workshop.
Personal/physical and environmental information is recorded by youth
in an I.D. Booklet. Should they go missing the information detailed
within will assist law enforcement in their location and recovery. The
second component is a workshop presentation on youth issues which
aims to focus on preventing youth from running away or engaging in
risky behaviour that may lead them to go missing. These workshops
are offered throughout the province and are designed to be community
specific with respect to the varied issues that young people face in
those communities.
The “All About Me” program is for children. This program offers safety
tips and a place to record pertinent information about the child. The
I.D. Booklet contains a photo, fingerprints or footprint for babies plus
physical and medical data. This booklet is kept in a safe accessible
location by the custodial parent and up-dated regularly. Should the
child go missing, this booklet is given to law enforcement to aid in
their recovery. Child Find conducts I.D. clinics at schools, daycares,
malls and other businesses.
5
This year marked the fourth
successful year of our
publication of ALERT Magazine.
We continue to provide
Saskatchewan readers with
information on child safety,
internet safety, volunteering,
family friendly activities
throughout the province and
images and information on our
missing cases. Child Find
promotes events, fundraisers,
highlights activities we
participated in and promotes
positive family values through
articles contributed by
organizations such as minor
sports leagues, Canada Safety
Council, Saskatchewan Abilities
Council and Saskatchewan
Advocate for Children and
Youth.
You can view a flip copy of the ALERT magazine on-line by visiting:
childfind.sk.ca.
Alert boasts a circulation of
11,000 copies, 9,500 of which
are delivered directly to homes.
The remainders are circulated to
various places in the province
including offices, leisure centres,
sports facilities, family resource
centres, Welcome Wagon, etc.
The focus of Alert will always be
to raise awareness of missing
persons and promote the safety
and well-being of children, youth
and families.
Alert is distributed quarterly.

The All About Me ID Clinic continues to be our most
sought after and most popular program at Child Find
Saskatchewan. During 2015, Child Find had 50 clinics in
the province with over 4858 children and youth filling out
the All About Me booklet. It is noteworthy to mention that
due to the longevity of the program, we now have
parents requesting to have their children ID’d as they
themselves were ID’d when they were children. We
believe that speaks volumes about the program and it is
wonderful to see it come full circle.

The All About Me booklet offers safety
information and a check
list for parents that encourages them to
speak with their children
about safety, while the Alert Youth
booklet is more comprehensive
with information about tattoos,
piercings, vehicle information,
hangouts etc. Each booklet is designed
to be updated as physical,
circumstantial or environment issues
change. The purpose of the booklet
and the information contained within is
to expedite this data reaching law
enforcement or the media
should the child or youth go missing.
Child Find is pleased to be partnering
with a number of School Resource
Officers in the province who are
bringing the All About Me ID and Alert
Youth programs to schools in their
community. These programs have
been very well received and it is the
goal of Child Find to have the programs
available in all schools in
Saskatchewan with the aid School
Resource Officers. We believe that
these police officers, many of whom
are stationed in the schools or who
make regular visits to their assigned
schools, are perfect representatives for
the deliverance of these programs that
focus on safety, prevention and the
consequences of risky behaviour.

In 2015, Child Find Saskatchewan continued its program aimed at youth – the ALERT Youth
Program. Geared towards youth between the ages of 9 and 18, the program is both community and
cultural specific. It is a flexible program which will adapt to offer material most suited to the
community in which it is being presented. The ALERT Youth Program will offer guidance through
some of the most pressing influences in teenage life, including:
 Substance Abuse
 Depression & Anxiety
 Internet Luring
 Gangs
 Suicide
 Eating Disorders
 Teen Pregnancy
 Bullying
 Relationships
Child Find Saskatchewan partners with high schools throughout the province to provide youth
and parents with multiple supports and life skills, including:
 Increased SelfEsteem
 Improved
Communication Skills
 Confidence
through
Knowledge
 Action Plans
 Coping Guidance
 A Resource Guide
In addition to these supports, the ALERT Youth Program will also utilize a booklet to give to
youth participants for keeping valuable identifying information. This information will be useful
when provided to law enforcement should the owner of the booklet go missing. The booklet will
be meant for safekeeping and constant updating, and will contain information such as:
 Physical
Description
 Birth Date
 Friends, Partners,
Groups &
Affiliations
 Social Media & Email Account Info
 Employment
 ID Card # Info, such as: Driver’s
License, Social Insurance, Health
Card, Passport
 Other Unique Personal
Information which could
be vital to their location

CONNECTING FAMILIES
Connecting Families is a peer support network for
families traumatized by a missing person. When
someone goes missing, the family faces a wide range
of feelings and emotions. The goal of Connecting
Families is to offer support and resources during the
search.
Often, the support provided by those who have
already experienced a similar trauma can be beneficial
during these difficult times.
Connecting Families is of particular value as more
experienced families can provide suggestions and
support relevant to the specific situations of those in
need of guidance.
The Connecting Families support services is Canada wide, free and available to all.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Child Find Staff receive the initial call from families interested in joining the program. The
family is then sent an information package including an application form. All children
(siblings) taking part in the program must have the signed consent of the parent. The family
is then matched with another family. Families are matched based on similar family dynamics
and situations as no one truly understands the pain unless they have had a similar personal
experience. Child Find SK feels that this is the best way for families to talk about their
situation and receive the strength, courage and hope they need to go on.
OUR 24/7 CRISIS LINE:
Child Find Saskatchewan operates and maintains a 24/7/365 Crisis Line to report a
missing child, give a tip or to report a sighting of a missing child. There is always a staff
member on-call to facilitate emergency calls, ensuring that every effort is made to act
accordingly and swiftly. This is especially important should law enforcement find it
necessary to issue an Amber Alert during off hours.

AMBER ALERT
What is an AMBER Alert?
An AMBER Alert is a voluntary partnership between police agencies and broadcasters
to send out an emergency alert to the public when a child or vulnerable adult has been
abducted and is believed to be in imminent danger.
What are the criteria for sending out an AMBER Alert?
1. The missing person is under the age of 18 or is an individual with a proven
mental or physical disability
2. An investigation has confirmed either abduction by a stranger or abduction
(parental or non-parental) where circumstances lead police to believe that an
abducted person is in danger of serious bodily harm or death
3. There is enough descriptive information about the abduction to share with the
public that could assist in locating the abducted person or the apprehension of
the suspect
4. The alert can be issued in a time frame that would provide a reasonable
expectation that the abducted person could be returned or the abductor could be
apprehended prior to fleeing
As of this year our Amber Alert database contains the emails and fax numbers of 1200 recipients.
These recipients range from businesses, services, members of the community and various other
organizations.

GREEN RIBBON MONTH
The Saskatchewan government officially
proclaimed May, 2015 as Missing Children’s
Month. This year marks Child Find
Saskatchewan’s 24th Annual Green Ribbon
of Hope Campaign, which runs throughout
the month of May. Green ribbons may be
obtained at participating TD Canada Trust
and RBC Royal Bank branches throughout
the province in exchange for a donation
during the month of May. “Missing Children’s
Month is an important opportunity to raise
awareness in Saskatchewan and across
Canada on behalf of missing children, youth
and their families,” Social Services Minister
Donna Harpauer said. “I ask that everyone
across Saskatchewan wear a Green Ribbon
of Hope this month in support of all missing
children and their families,” she continued.
In 2015-16, the Ministry of Justice is
providing $50,000 to Child Find
Saskatchewan. This funding will continue to

Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. “One
missing child is too many. All children have
the right to be safe and I applaud the
ongoing dedication
of Child Find for making a difference in the
lives of Saskatchewan children and their
families.” The Green Ribbon Campaign
originated with students and faculty at
Kristen French’s secondary school in St.

MISSING PERSONS WEEK
The Government of
Saskatchewan proclaimed
the week of May 3-9 as
Missing Persons Week. This
year’s theme “A Community’s
Response to Missing Persons.”
“Saskatchewan shares the
concerns of the public and
the nation about the need to
address ongoing issues about
missing persons,” Justice
Minister and Attorney General
Gordon Wyant said. “I’m
proud of the collaborative work
we’re doing in Saskatchewan
to raise awareness and am
encouraged by the discussions
we‘ve had with our counterparts
across the country.”
“This year, Missing Person’s
Week provided an
opportunity to understand
what communities can do
when someone goes missing,”
Corrections and Policing
Minister Christine Tell said.
“That includes efforts to find
the missing person, but also
supporting families in a time
of uncertainty.”
According to the Saskatchewan
Association of Chiefs
of Police (SACP) database,
there are currently 122
long-term missing persons
in the province.
“The declaration of Missing
Persons’ Week and the work
of the Provincial Partnership
Committee on Missing Persons
are highly regarded by
other jurisdictions as steps
in the right direction,” SACP
President Chief Troy Hagen
said.“As a partner, the SACP
assures the families of the
missing that we will continue
to investigate their cases,
offering emotional and practical
support through Victim
Services, as well as informing
and educating whole
communities on everyone’s
role in prevention.”
The Provincial Partnership
Committee on Missing
Persons (PPCMP), which
includes
representatives from
government, police, First
Nations, Métis, and communitybased organizations,
leads collaborative work to
address issues related to
prevention, intervention and
support in cases involving
missing persons. It has been
recognized both nationally
and internationally for its
approach.
In support of Missing
Persons Week, the PPCMP
developed a fictional person
to follow on Twitter at #ImaMissing. Throughout the
week, the narrative highlighted
how police, organizations
and communities respond
to a missing persons case
from the moment the initial
report is made until the case
is resolved.

to assist families of missing
persons, visit www.justice.

CHARITY BREAKFAST
The month of May is always a
busy month for Child Find
Saskatchewan. We actively
participate in Saskatchewan’s
Missing Person’s Week, we
fundraise for Missing Children’s
Month, and we recognize Missing
Children’s Day on May 25th
and this year, we hosted our first
Child Find Charity Breakfast.
There isn’t a parent among us
who have not felt some degree
of anxiety thinking about the
possibility of our child being
abducted. We hear it on
the news, we see it on-line and
we can’t help but feel a little
panicky. Our visceral reaction is
normal but statistics prove that
stranger abductions are
extremely rare. However, this
stat is of little comfort and
consequence for our special
guest speaker that morning.
Mayor Don Atchison
May 6th, 2015 marked the first
fund raising charity breakfast
endeavour for Child Find
Saskatchewan. We were
delighted and grateful to have
some noteworthy dignitaries in
attendance including Rob Norris,
MLA, His Worship Mayor Don
Atchison, Chief Clive Weighill,
and Tribal Chief Felix Thomas.
Over 180 guests arrived, braving
the cold wind and rain to help us
raise funds and awareness for
missing children and youth in
our province. According to
Saskatchewan Association
of Chiefs of Police and The
Partnership of Missing Persons,
currently, there are 122 missing
people in our province. A very
sobering number indeed.
Assante Wealth Management 1st Avenue
Cheque Presentation
Charity Breakfast Guests
On an ordinary day in July,
2006 the unthinkable
happened to a young boy,
sparking the province’s first
Amber Alert. The boy’s father
recounted his
story of unbearable pain and
panic that he and his family
endured during the 50 hours
that his precious son was
abducted and held captive by
a known
pedophile. It’s impossible to
describe the mood in the room
and the emotions felt as this
man spoke about his brave
little boy. For just an instant,
that little boy became
everyone’s child.
We were shaken to the
core but it is
a story that needs to be
told, needs to
be heard.
The first annual Child Find
Charity
Breakfast was a
tremendous success
and we are thrilled to
announce that over
$30,000 was raised that
morning. This
will create a direct impact
on the number
of children and youth
reached through our
educational and
preventative programs
and services. It is our goal
to prevent
children from going missing
and to spare
families the kind of
overwhelming grief
suffered by our guest
speaker. May his
story never be forgotten
and serve as a
reminder that a missing
child or a child in
danger is truly everyone’s
responsibility.
CPS Chief Clive Weighill

MEDIA
In 2015 we have had the opportunity to interview with various media outlets in the
province.
We were invited to appear Morning News at Global Saskatoon and Regina by satellite,
on two separate occasions to speak about an influx of child luring attempts in Saskatoon
and about a recent Amber Alert that was issued in Alberta and in general, what happens
during an Amber Alert.
Various radio stations also called for an interview in light of these instances of increased
reports of child luring.
Our 1st Fundraising Breakfast had Phyllis Hallatt as a guest to promote the event on
Global Morning News and on the Morning on CTV Saskatoon. Phyllis also did an
appearance to promote our programs and services on CTV during missing person’s
month. Cam Hutchinson did a story in the Saskatoon Express about the Fundraising
Breakfast and the guest speaker.
The University of Saskatchewan included us in their Agricultural Health and Safety
Network magazine and featured our All About Me ID program.
The P.A. Shopper has included us in there newsletter to promote our programs and
services along with mentions in Ken Cheveldayoff’s News Publication – From a
Provincial Point of View in promotion of our events and Fundraising Breakfast.
Bamboo Shoots- for SaskTel Max produced a 20 minute video about our All About Me ID
program. You can find this on our YouTube channel.
Global TV Saskatoon ran a 15 second spot for our Green Ribbon of Hope month.

media has aided in resolving 98.5 percent of AMBER alerts since 2005. Of
1,451 AMBER notifications in the U.S. from 2005 to 2009, 1,430 children have been
found.
Missing Persons Week, Missing Children’s Month, Child Find events such as fundraisers, All About
Me ID Clinics, Saskatchewan Police Officers in our schools, Trade Shows etc are all promoted
through social media. We also assist law enforcement through social media when a request is
made for assistance in apprehending a criminal such as those featured on Crime Stoppers. We
also promote public service announcements and feel good stories posted by law enforcement
throughout the province
