Original 10 a.m. story:
Colleagues of a man who has been missing since Saturday are providing more details as a search in Hiawatha gets underway.
Igor Dragoslavic, a 58-year-old who works as a director of operations for Transitions Bike Parks in Kitchener, was last seen by family members around 8 a.m. in the 100 block of Pentagon Boulevard on Saturday.
According to Cindy Pruce from the Sault Cycling Club, Dragoslavic has been in town since early September assisting with the Finn Hill Mountain Bike project.
Pruce explains that trail building for the project was slated to start next week or the week after, and she says Dragoslavic had been spending time flagging out the new trail in Hiawatha.
“He was just up at Hiawatha scoping out some of the other new trails from the sounds of it,” she says.
Several police cruisers and a mobile command unit have been sitting in the Soo Finnish Nordic Ski Club parking lot since early this morning.
Chris Dewar, the president of the Kitchener-based biking company and a close colleague of Dragoslavic’s, says his vehicle is an older black Honda CR-V.
Pruce says the OPP is now involved in the situation, and she will be heading up to Hiawatha to help out with the search.
“If there’s people who want to help out with the search, the OPP is looking for people to check in around 10 this morning, or whenever they can come,” she says. “They’re going to give people grids to help with the search”
