Spencer Smith, 42, was last seen around 1 p.m. Wednesday in the 2700-block of Lougheed Highway.
Mounties say they are concerned about his wellbeing and need to return him to a designated facility.
“Smith may behave in a way that presents a risk to the public, so if you see him, police ask that you do not approach and instead call 911 immediately,” RCMP said in a media release.
