RCMP say a child was located near 8th Street and Veterans Boulevard early Saturday morning and has since been reunited with family.
The confirmation follows a social media post that drew widespread attention over the weekend, claiming a young child had been found alone in the area.
"July 26th, a child was located around 8th street and Veterans at approximately 0725hrs,” RCMP said in an emailed response. “There was no concern with the child's condition. The child was reunited with his family.”
No further details were released.
