61 year old woman Sharon Gayle Dawson missing from Oceanside, BC

It’s been over two weeks since Sharon “Gayle” Dawson left her home in Qualicum Beach. Ms Dawson left her home on December 25th , 2010 and was seen at the World Parrot Refuge near Coombs BC on December 28th 2010. Ms Dawson has not been in contact with any family since she left. It is very uncharacteristic for Ms Dawson not to at least call her brother who lives in Alberta. Her family are very concerned, one family member stated, “ We all feel so helpless and would just like to know where she is.” Ms Dawson has family right across Canada.

Ms Dawson worked at a variety of careers, she operated a landscaping business as well worked as a realtor and at one time was a flight attendant with a commercial airline . Ms. Dawson is an outdoors person who enjoys walking along trails and hiking in wilderness areas. She has visited many coastal communities and was particularly fond of Tofino, Saltspring Island and Gabriola Island. Oceanside RCMP are following up on all information received to date and are appealing to the public for anyone with information as to where Ms Dawson may be or if they have spoken to her or seen her to notify the Oceanside RCMP detachment at (250)248-6111
