Police said he has a medical issue which may prevent him from responding to others.

Search and Rescue teams from both Alberta and B.C. have responded and are asking people to avoid the area so thermal imaging drones and search dogs can canvas the area without distraction.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Crowsnest Pass RCMP at 403-562-2866.
