George Benoit

Mackenzie and nearby communities have come together in the search for George.

RCMP and multiple search and rescue teams, including Prince George Search and Rescue, have been working day and night.

There’s been an overwhelming amount of support from the community with hundreds of volunteers joining the search, and a wait list to volunteer that’s pages long.

Benoit says George has the most beautiful piercing blue eyes. He’s intelligent and kind, and his family loves him unconditionally.

The search continues, and the family remains hopeful.
