Dear tom1350-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question.
Here you will find a rather large list of links to the missing persons
bureaus and organizations of Canada and neighboring US States. As you
might imagine, people who have gone missing have multiple listings so
as to insure that a wide variety of viewers will see them and
hopefully recognize them. Because of this, a person missing from
Quebec might also be found on the Interpol site, The Missing
Children’s Network, or Child Cyber Search. With this in mind, I have
pointed all of these out to you believing that it might enhance your
possibility of finding who you are looking for.

In addition, at CHILD CYBER SEARCH you can type in “Quebec” in the
province and get a return of a list of missing persons:
CHILD CYBER SEARCH

Here is another list. Some may be duplicates of the larger list but I
also saw some that were not:
POLICE RESOURCE LIST
http://police.sas.ab.ca/prl/miss.html
This is a list of missing persons primarily from Ontario:
OPP MISSING PERSONS
http://www.gov.on.ca/opp/bulletins/english/missing.htm
This is the MISSING CHILDREN SOCIETY OF CANADA. You can’t discount
that a person who was once a missing child might now be a missing
adult:
MISSING CHILDREN SOCIETY OF CANADA
http://www.mcsc.ca/photo_dir/default.asp
This site also has a search engine that will allow you to specify a
province:
OUR MISSING CHILDREN
http://www.ourmissingchildren.ca/en/search.html
There are others but I have provided you with the search terms below
so you can continue as I have and perhaps find many more resources
like the ones I have pointed out to you.
Below you will find that I have carefully defined my search strategy
for you in the event that you need to search for more information. By
following the same type of searches that I did you may be able to
enhance the research I have provided even further. I hope you find
that that my research exceeds your expectations. If you have any
questions about my research please post a clarification request prior
to rating the answer. Otherwise, I welcome your rating and your final
comments and I look forward to working with you again in the near
future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.
Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga

tutuzdad-ga,
You are a very skilled researcher but there is an issue that you may
not be aware of; Quebec is a very distinct "province" in Canada. The
legal language is French, and English signs for example may not be
posted in public.
That is the the law.(fines and court cases have been battled for
years), Quebec is so distinct that the main issue for the last 40
years, has been separation from the rest of Canada.
Consequently, the sites that you provide for Ontario, Alta., Sask,
and British Columbia are totally inapplicable to Quebec. Finding the
missing in Quebec is governed by the legal durastiction of Quebec and
as such requires unique contacts, websites, etc. (mostly in french
only which is not a big deal because I speak and read French.) The
question is where do I find unique sources that are reflect the French
face of Quebec. A tricky situation but there it is; I must perfect a
protocol that allows the average guy to find a
a missing person without " court contacts" and " bribery" and so
forth.
Assistance in regard would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
Montreal

Dear tom1350-ga:
As with any question, a researcher can only answer the question as
asked, and cannot be expected to know what a customer is wanting or
thinking unless he mentions it in his question. Your question, as
asked, has been answered. While Quebec may in fact wish to be
politically seperate from a soverign nationa, the fact remains that it
is not. As I pointed out, people whose loved ones have gone missing
are reported to a variety of media outlets in a variety of languages
and even those missing from Quebec are included in these. Even if a
database of missing persons exclusively intended for use of the people
of Quebec existed (which I doubt) the names of those in the database
would undoubtedly be disimminated to other interested parties. Where
the saftey of mising people is concerned, political boundaries are a
moot issue. This is true even between countries who are at odds. On
another note, if there were a fool-proof means of finding missing
person simply by logging into a database all missing person would
already have been found.
Logically then, it stands to reason that one must check the entires in
all regional databases in order to find information about missing
persons, then do the best he can with what little is known in order to
locate them. Even then there is no guarantee.

Dear tom1350-ga:
I would also like to offer this, with regard to you statement: "...the
missing in Quebec is governed by the legal jurisdiction of Quebec..."
While the local jurisdiction is the primary investigating authority,
missing persons for whom no evidence is present to suggest otherwise,
are considered abductions or foul play. This then becomes a matter of
the FEDERAL jurisdiction and the cases are pursued on a nation wide,
and even an international level. Quebec holds no exclusive "rights" or
exclusive authority over federal cases.

tutuzdad-ga:
Vital Statistics are a provincial jurisdiction
and essential questions regarding a missing person
of birth and death are not compiled by the Government of Canada;
Here in Quebec they are the domain of Quebec
and information from Ontario, Alberta, Sask., etc. is therefore
of no value except for general "missing person" procedures.
If the information is not online, I must live
with that.
Cheers and thanks again,
Tom1350-ga
