It㽶Ƶֱs been exactly one week since she was last seen and there are still no signs of missing Kelowna woman Chelsea Cardno.
Cardno㽶Ƶֱs last known location was at her home on Dougall Road South near the Mission Greenway. She left her residence on June 14 around 8 a.m. Since then, RCMP, Central Okanagan Search and Rescue, and the general public have been on the lookout, fearing that Cardno may have been swept away in Mission Creek when water levels were extraordinarily high.

An update was given on the official Facebook page for the search on the morning of June 21, saying that there has still been 㽶Ƶֱno trace㽶Ƶֱ of either Cardno or her German Shepherd puppy, J.J., who was with Cardno when she went missing.
㽶ƵֱWe have received a lot of pictures of items found along the bank and inquiries to identify dogs fitting the description of J.J.,㽶Ƶֱ reads the update. 㽶ƵֱUnfortunately nothing of note has yet to be found but we ask that you continue sending anything you find to the page first, we don㽶Ƶֱt want to overload (sic) the authorities with photos of items that are not related.㽶Ƶֱ
Search parties have been scouring the banks of Mission Creek along both sides of the greenway between Gallagher㽶Ƶֱs Canyon and Okanagan Lake looking for any signs. The update adds that authorities are leaving 㽶Ƶֱno stone unturned.㽶Ƶֱ

The admins also ask that anybody doing their own searching stay away from the still-unstable banks of the creek.
