An Ontario woman who went missing while attending the Shambhala music festival in B.C. has been found safe, her family and RCMP say.
The woman was reported missing after the four-day electronic music festival, which is held near Salmo in B.C.’s West Kootenay region, ended on July 27.
News of her disappearance was widely shared across social media in the immediate aftermath, as members of the festival community sought information about her whereabouts.
In a statement sent to CBC News, her family thanked everyone who had supported them, including through financial donations, which they said were used to cover travel costs with the remainder going to local search and rescue teams who supported police in their efforts.
The family also thanked RCMP and the music festival organizers for their “relentless focus” on the search.
RCMP thanked search and rescue teams, as well as members of the public for their “valuable tips that helped advance this investigation.”
The family is now asking for privacy.
