CZMLANSDOWNE STATION - A search for two young children who are believed to have wandered away from their home in rural northeastern Nova Scotia continued Sunday, with no sign of the youngsters so far.
RCMP said Lily Sullivan, 6, and Jack Sullivan, 4, were last seen around 10 a.m. Friday in the community of Lansdowne Station.
In a brief update, the RCMP said search efforts were ongoing Sunday in Pictou County for the missing kids.
Police describe Lily Sullivan as having shoulder-length, light brown hair with bangs, and say she might be wearing a pink sweater, pink pants and pink boots.
Jack Sullivan has short, blond hair and is wearing blue dinosaur boots.Â
Police have said there is no evidence the children were abducted.
Searches continued through Saturday night just as they had through Friday night. Police said teams who worked overnight were relieved by new volunteers and officers from agencies involved as the search stretched into a third day.
The children are the subject of a multi-agency response on the ground that has included police dogs and a helicopter from the provincial Department of Natural Resources.
In a message posted to the X social media platform on Saturday, Premier Tim Houston said all of Nova Scotia is hoping for the best.
"People in Pictou County and across Nova Scotia are praying for a positive outcome for two missing children," Houston wrote. "During this time of worry, please know that our first responders and volunteers are working tirelessly during this 24/7 operation."
Houston noted the search marks the first time the Nova Scotia Guard were put into action. The new volunteer corps were created this year, which mobilizes during emergencies and natural disasters.Â
The volunteers are working in shifts and helping with food distribution, overnight protection of equipment and assisting first responders with parking and directions, Houston wrote.
