The Sidney/North Saanich RCMP is asking for the public’s help to find a man who has been missing from Sidney, British Columbia, for nearly seven years. Ross Runciman was originally reported missing on May 17, 2019, after he was last seen the previous day.
Runciman was 71 years old at the time of his disappearance and would now be 77. He is described as being 6 feet tall with a slim build. He has shoulder-length hair that is a grey-blonde colour and he has facial hair.
When he was last seen, he was wearing a green jacket and a grey Cowichan-style toque. His information is currently listed on the MissingPeople.ca website to help with the ongoing search.
On March 23, 2026, the police detachment issued a new appeal to remind the community that the investigation is still active. This renewed effort is part of the work done by BC RCMP Communication Services to find people who have been missing for a long time.
Constable Benje Bartley is asking anyone who knows anything about where Runciman might be to come forward. Residents can call the police station at 250-656-3931 or dial 911 if they have immediate information to share.
