He says Lefave was last seen in the southwestern part of the province wearing a hat, a plaid shirt and shorts.

Joyce says police are working with the volunteer Civil Air Search and Rescue Association, and says the RCMP are also conducting ground searches and are looking for Lefave along local waterways.

He says anyone with information on his disappearance is asked to call police.
