Dear Friends and Supporters of the Missing Children’s Network,
For a remarkable 35 years the Missing Children’s Network has been offering emergency services, support, relief and education to protect and support our children. These children are often the most fragile members of our society and when they go missing are exposed to great dangers. The Missing Children’s Network has and will continue to be the unwavering place to turn for assistance for both the children and their families.
In a small way I have been helping the organisation for over 15 years and unfortunately recently experienced first-hand the need for their help. I was delighted and honoured to be the asked to be one of the Co-Chair’s to the May 21st event when we will be celebrating the organization’s 35th anniversary at the Gala – Le Feu Sacré. Please join us for an evening of fun and entertainment. Brings friends, family and colleagues… buy tickets, participate in the silent auction, become a sponsor or any manner please help us recognise this wonderful organisation.
Best regards,
Brett Miller
Chief Executive Officer – Canderel
The Missing Children's Network is pleased to inform you that 17 year-old Sabrina Amara missing since March 24, 2020, has been found and is doing well. Thank you to all those who shared her poster.
Claude, patrouilleur à la Sûreté du Québec depuis maintenant 16 ans, affiche fièrement dans sa voiture ce dessin que sa fille lui a fait.
Dimanche, il est allé la reconduire chez sa mère. Elle avait le cœur gros. Son papa lui avait expliqué du mieux qu’il le pouvait ce qui se passe dans le monde en ce moment et ce qu’il devait et devra faire pour faire sa part. Ce qu’elle a compris, c’est surtout qu’il serait plus difficile de passer du temps ensemble.
Ce papa qui s’ennuie déjà beaucoup vous lance un message : « Mon histoire ressemble probablement à la vôtre. Nous sommes tous dans le même bateau. Aidons-nous! Aidez-nous à vous aider afin que la vie reprenne son court normal au plus vite. »
Aider est simple. Lavez-vous les mains. Respectez la distanciation sociale. Évitez les rassemblements et évitez les déplacements non-essentiels. Écoutez les consignes de notre gouvernement. C’est tout.
The Missing Children's Network is pleased to inform you that 17 year-old Steve Saindon, missing since March 20, 2020, has been found and is doing well. Thank you to all those who shared his poster.
Did you have the chance to view our recent stories? In the stories posted yesterday our sexology intern explains what sexual exploitation is and how to prevent it. It all starts with educating our youth: maintaining healthy relationships, developing a positive self-esteem, questioning gender stereotypes and learning to set boundaries. Sadly, many teens fall victim to exploitation. This is why we developed an online directory of services for victims of sexual exploitation, in which you will find resources for each region of Quebec. Thank you for sharing this link; we never know who might need it!

Make a Donation
Your donations make a real difference in our community and help support our ongoing involvement in the search for missing children, as well as assist us in our efforts to protect our youth from harm.
“It’s a privilege to be able to contribute to your efforts in keeping our children safe. When I saw the stats particularly for Quebec, it really hit home the urgency to continue to educate our kids on the hazards that exist and ways to keep themselves safe.”
Since I have been donating to your organization, I have been very lucky not to have lost any of my children and I now have 4 grandchildren! I will always continue to support this cause that is very dear to me. Losing a child for a mere 20 seconds is such a dreadful feeling, and I could never ever imagine feeling like this until my child was returned home. I wish that so many other parents could share the same blessing I have had. My heart goes out to everyone who has a missing child. Keep up the fantastic work Pina , please. You and your team are amazing!!
