Person Located
(KILLARNEY, ON) – Police have located the missing hiker.
On October 26, 2023, shortly after 3:00 p.m., members of the Nipissing West Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a missing person report in Killarney Provincial Park, in the Municipality of Killarney.
An experience hiker, 50 years-of-age, from Hamilton had gone on a four-day hiking trip into the park and was to return on Wednesday October 25, 2023.
The Emergency Response Team (ERT) have located and escorted the missing hiker out, with no medical concerns.
The OPP would like to remind the public of the “what3words” App offered for free by both android and apple devices to download. The app labels every three squared metres with a unique three-word location string which can be converted into latitude and longitude coordinates for entry into the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system in use at the OPP Provincial Communication Centre (PCC).
Even if the caller does not have the app previously downloaded on their mobile device, the PCC communicator can send a link to the caller’s cell phone which will enable the caller (with data access and connectivity), to find their what3words location. The app is available in 43 languages but shares the location in English.OPP IS SEARCHING FOR A MISIING HIKER IN KILLARNEY PROVINCIAL PARK
