EARLIER: 

Kamloops Search and Rescue is attempting to find a woman and nine-year-old child today after the pair failed to show up in North Seymour Arm.

The woman was travelling from Alberta to the Shuswap Lakes where she was scheduled to meet up with others.

K-SAR Volunteer Search Manager Alan Hobler suspects the woman and child got stuck, lost, or ran out of gas. 

“She sent a text message from Vavenby saying she was going to take a shortcut,” Hobler said. “It probably looks like she decided to try and access some of the forest service roads between Vavenby and North Seymour Arm, which probably isn’t the best driving.” 

Hobler says PEP Air is scouring the area from the sky, Kamloops Search and Rescue has two teams out searching, and Shuswap Search and Rescue has dispatched three teams. 

The woman was driving a red 2014 Hyundai Sonata with Alberta plates, and Hobler asks that anyone who may have seen the vehicle along forest service roads in the area contact RCMP.
