The family of Chapleau Cree’s Glen Wesley has been searching for him since he went missing Sept. 15, 2010 in North Bay.
“We are very concerned for his well-being and his safety. He needs to be on his medications,” said his mother, Cecille Wesley.
Wesley said her son has been off his medications since he went missing. The six-foot-three, 220-230-pound, 28-year-old man with black hair and brown eyes requires regular medications for his mental illness. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie jacket and black pants and is friendly and polite.
“We don’t really know what Glen is thinking right now,” Wesley said. “He may be a little irrational, thinking he doesn’t want to go back to North Bay.”
Wesley has received tips and sightings about her son from a number of locations across the province, including a possible sighting in New Liskeard Jan. 2.
“So we went there just to check ourselves,” Wesley said. “We handed out missing posters and we even went to talk to the police and they said they would keep an eye out for Glen.”
Wesley has also travelled to North Bay, Sudbury and Toronto to check out possible sightings.
“It has been very expensive,” Wesley said. “There were no sightings of Glen in southern Ontario. We put up posters at the Salvation Army and shelters in Toronto, North Bay and Sudbury.”
Wesley encourages her son to call home and let the family know he is safe.
“You’re not in any trouble,” Wesley said. “Please call home and let us know you are OK. We love him and hope he is OK. And we miss him.”

When I was a boy growing up in my home community of Attawapiskat on the James Bay coast, I was deathly afraid of looking at the full moon.

I’m happy to see the ongoing support and assistance in our northern remote communities to help our people cope with so many lifelong and generational issues...
