On March 22, 2010, at 4:25pm, the RCMP Powerview Detachment were notified that 14-year-old Tyler Arkinson could not be located. Efforts to find him had failed and Tyler’s family members were becoming increasingly concerned since it was unusual for him not to contact his family.

In the following days, massive search efforts on Sagkeeng FN lead by the RCMP Search and Rescue Team, search partners, Powerview RCMP Detachment, family members and local area volunteers failed to find Tyler Arkinson.

Atkinson was last seen wearing blue jeans, a grey sweater, a black jacket and red and black skateboard shoes. Atkinson is described as 5’10” tall, 150 lbs, brown hair and brown eyes.
RCMP Powerview Detachment continued their efforts to locate Tyler Arkinson through investigative means to no avail and Tyler Arkinson has yet to be found.
