Selkirk RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing 37-year-old man.
Blair Colles, 37, has been missing from his Manitoba Avenue address in Selkirk since Dec. 24, 2025. He was last seen in the Bridgewater area of south Winnipeg
Blair Colles was reported missing from his Manitoba Avenue address in Selkirk at 2:45 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2025. He is described as five-foot-11, about 180 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
Colles was last seen on Dec. 26 at an Airbnb in the Bridgewater area of south Winnipeg. At the time, he was wearing a black thigh-length jacket with a fur-trimmed hood, a black baseball cap, a grey Adidas hoodie, jeans, and black-and-white running shoes.
According to his family, Colles has not contacted anyone since that date — behaviour his mother, Shelly Wright, says is highly unusual.
“Blair is a very kind and giving man who is always sharing anything he has,” Wright said. “We just need to know he’s safe. His family and his kids need that.”
Wright said that even if Colles wishes to remain out of contact, she hopes he will reach out in some way to confirm he is safe.
RCMP and family members say they are increasingly concerned for Colles’ well-being, as there have been no confirmed leads or contact since Dec. 26. Wright said Colles would normally check in multiple times a day, and his disappearance has left his family — including his stepfather, sister and two children — deeply worried.
“It just doesn’t make sense,” she said. “We’re hearing so many mixed stories. We just want to know he’s safe.”
Wright said she is grateful for the support from family, friends and community members who have helped distribute missing-person posters throughout Selkirk and Winnipeg. Community groups including Winnipeg Bear Clan and Morgan’s Warriors have been notified, and searches have previously been conducted. The Winnipeg Police Service missing persons unit is also involved, and a Canada-wide missing persons alert has been issued.
“The support has been overwhelming,” Wright said. “With all the calls and texts, I don’t have time to fall apart. I just have to keep going until I find him.”
Anyone with information about Colles’ whereabouts is asked to contact the Selkirk RCMP non-emergency line at 1-204-482-1222 and reference missing person file number C250311570. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at manitobacrimestoppers.com, or by contacting the Winnipeg Police Service missing persons unit at 1-204-986-6222.
