OXFORD COUNTY, Ont. - A massive search is continuing this morning in a rural area of southwestern Ontario for a missing two-year-old girl.
The Brant County Ontario Provincial Police detachment says Brooklyn Honderich's parents reported her missing just after 7 p.m. Sunday.
They said she had wandered off from their farm about seven kilometres east of the village of Norwich, which is just south of Woodstock.
Const. Stacey Culbert, the media relations officer with the Oxford County detachment of provincial police, says a major search operation was begun immediately.
“We have OPP members from Brant County, Oxford County and (the) neighbouring detachment of Norfolk County as well, as are OPP canine units on scene as well as the OPP helicopter.”
Culbert estimated that more than 25 police officers were involved in the search effort, as well as numerous volunteers.
Police were also asking area residents (on Caley and Baseline roads) to check their properties and out buildings for any sign of the child.
Brooklyn is described as being 39 inches tall and 29 pounds with light brown shoulder length hair in pony tails.
She was last seen wearing tan coloured overalls, a blue and white striped tank top and grey Capri-style pants.
