THE CANADIAN PRESS/Handout - Calgary Police Service (Mandatory Credit) © The Canadian Press CALGARY — A vigil was held outside Calgary's city hall on Wednesday evening for an 11-year-old boy with autism who was found dead inside a labyrinth of water pipes a week earlier. Parker's disappearance from a northside day home last month prompted a massive two-week search that saw police officers, search and rescue experts, and residents scour city blocks and blast Disney music to try to find him. Tired of watching everyone else get ahead? Tired of watching everyone else get ahead? Solar-Rebate-Canada · Sponsored call to action icon Calgary Police Chief Katie McLellan told those gathered at the vigil that the search was filled with "deeply human" acts of kindness, such as leaving water bottles and snacks for Parker to hopefully find. She added that Parker would always have a special place in the hearts and heads of Calgarians. The search also raised questions about alerting the public when vulnerable children disappear, prompting calls for improvements to those systems. Mayor Jeromy Farkas, fighting back tears, said it's hard to make sense of what happened to Parker. "A tragedy like this ... shakes every one of us who loves a child," Farkas told those at the vigil Wednesday. "It shakes a city, and if your heart is aching tonight, mine is too. Calgary is hurting together." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 6, 2026.
