At the time Peter went missing, RCMP searched the area, but he has not been seen or heard from in over a year.
"We miss him – his humour, honesty, and caring; his love of music and sharing his detailed knowledge of NHL hockey," said his mother Julie Hawkins. "His cat Wendy still sleeps on his bed, missing him and hoping he'll come home. We are all praying for his safety and while we keep searching, we need the help of people who may know something to come forward to police."
Peter is described as approximately 5'11", 180 pounds, with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
