Hi Sally.

I've posted a link for 'The Doe Network' below. That will give you a place to start. Hope that helps.

Thank you, this looks like one of the sites I had before, must not be typing it in the search right. Will go through it today.

SAP:
Welcome Sally.
I'm sure you and your family have already tried the following, but I'll mention a few things anyway.
Since you have mentioned that your sister may have had limited funds for apartments, etc, have you checked and rechecked with:

-friends your sister had; any people who may have known her in the past
-homeless shelters
-other provincially sponsored housing for people in need
-food bank personnel in various areas (with a description)
-Social Services
-hospitals
-secondary care facilities, in case she has become disabled to live on her own (in cases of amnesia, etc.)

I wish your family success in finding your sister and may the New Year bring resolutions for you and many others.  :)

eta: here's a checklist compiled by a member here; perhaps it may help in checking and ruling out:

Yes SAP, we have tried most of those things but will be trying some of them again. As far as her friends she was kind of secretive so didnt bring us to her friends when we visited her, couldnt get to know many she knew. I know there was one woman who she knew that had a very different name she used to talk about, to try and remember it almost drove me nuts, would have written it down if I hada known this was gonna happen. She never shared much with us and if we asked she wanted to know if we were writing a book. We did find her SIN number in some stuff she left at my parents during a time she was looking for a new place to live so did a search with social services using that and nothing came up. I know she didnt like to ask for anything from others so would take lots for her to go to the system to ask for money but then again a person would if there is just nothing left. I think she'd go out on the street and end up being like a bag lady first but I could be wrong. My parents went looking for her in Winnipeg once before she actually did quit calling and spotted her on the street if you can believe that. She didnt take them to her place of living, instead suggested they go sit in a restaurant to visit. My parents were on their way across Canada and had just thought to try and find her so at that time they were just glad to have found her so that was ok at that time. That is the last time she was seen or heard from by any family and it was the Portage area.
Thanks for the link, I will go over that checklist, might be helpful. You are all being so helpful. Glad I found this site.

Is it possible that your sister was embarrassed as to her then present lifestyle, for whatever reason, and hence the secretiveness? Independent people with pride, of which I believe your sister had by your description of her, will very often try and hide their present circumstances from their loved ones. As they feel that it would not be met with approval?

Obviously she is well loved.

Peace
JB
