FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. – Police are asking for help in locating a man who has been missing since the Fort McMurray wildfire in northern Alberta last spring.

He is described as Caucasian with blond-grey hair and green eyes.

Bastien is five-feet-nine-inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds.

Police ask anyone who many know of his whereabouts to please contact the Wood Buffalo RCMP, local authorities or Crime Stoppers.
