The search for Aiden, who went missing near Gitanyow Lake, came to an end on Day 9, Tuesday, November 19. With broken hearts, the family expressed immense gratitude for the outpouring of support, highlighting the tireless efforts of local Search and Rescue teams, Canadian Rangers, RCMP, drone operators, and the many volunteers—friends, family, and even strangers—who contributed to the search.
However, the family has emphasized that no one should risk their safety or health, as the conditions on the ground and in the water are extremely difficult and dangerous. They urge the community to prioritize their well-being as they reflect on the search.
The family will remain at the lake until the water freezes, welcoming others who wish to be with them in this time of mourning. Aiden will always be loved, missed, and never forgotten. They ask for continued prayers during this heartbreaking time.
