In a statement sent out by the Redcliff RCMP, the family of the missing man expressed their appreciation for those working on the search, as well as thanking people for their support.

“In particular, they wish to thank Search and Rescue, the RCMP, the Fire Department, Victim Services from Medicine Hat and Redcliff, the Red Cross, Days Inn, all Civilian Volunteers and Kelly Fischer for going above and beyond to help search for our son,” read the statement.

“Emergency Services would also like to thank members of the public for their thoughts for everyone involved, especially the family. It is important to emphasize that this search is not finished, and that further efforts will be made once environmental conditions improve along the river to enable a safer search.”

Ryan also said the man’s family will be returning home to British Columbia Monday.
