Why it matters
The case has mobilized significant community resources and highlights the ongoing efforts of local law enforcement in missing persons investigations.
Calgary police are closing a parking lot and pathway entrance at Nose Hill Park this weekend as the search continues for missing 11-year-old Parker.
Police said in a news release Saturday that the west parking lot and pathway entrance off Shaganappi Trail N.W. will be closed throughout the weekend to allow search teams to work safely and efficiently in the area.
They stressed the closure does not mean Parker has been found or that investigators have information placing him in Nose Hill Park.
Residents are being asked to use other entrances and avoid areas where police and search partners are working.
The new search effort comes as the effort to find Parker enters its ninth day.
He was last seen in the 5000 to 6000 block of Travis Crescent N.E. in Calgary’s Thorncliffe neighbourhood at around 12:52 p.m. on July 16.
