It has been 33 years since four-year-old Michael Dunahee went missing from a playground in Victoria.
Police said investigators continue to work and it remains one of the largest missing person investigations in the country.
On March 24, 1991, at around 12:30 p.m., Michael went missing from the area of the Blanshard School playground with family members just a short distance away.
The area was quite busy at the time for a football game.
Hundreds of people, including volunteers and police, searched for the boy in the coming weeks and months, without any luck.
A few years ago, Victoria police created an online portal, hoping it would generate new leads in the search for Michael.
Michael’s family has turned their tragedy into a grassroots effort to protect other families.
The annual Michael Dunahee ‘Keep The Hope Alive’ walk/run has been a fixture in the community.
This year’s walk is on Sunday and is a five-kilometre route through the neighbourhood of Esquimalt.
An online fundraiser has raised more than $1,690 which will go to Child Find BC.
