Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122.

OPP have also adopted a new policy in which they will only be releasing the first name of a person who is reported missing.

“Whether it’s an innocent ‘got lost’ incident or someone who has suffered a mental health issue, their name will be out there forever as a person who was missing,” acting sergeant Erin Cranton said in an email to Global News. “This could not only impact their employment prospects, it could have a significant impact on their mental health moving forward.”
