Searches continued through Saturday night just as they had through Friday night.

Police say teams who worked overnight were relieved by new volunteers and officers from agencies involved as search stretched into a third day.

The children are the subject of a multi-agency response on the ground that included police dogs and a helicopter from the provincial Department of Natural Resources.

Police describe Lily Sullivan as having shoulder-length, light brown hair with bangs, and say she might be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants and pink boots.
