The Burnaby RCMP is sharing messaging on billboards across the province as part of the ongoing efforts to locate 11-year-old Kai Pavlovic.
The billboards are being launched in partnership with MissingKids.ca and will be visible in multiple locations and communities around the Lower Mainland and the province as of Friday, October 17, 2025. Each billboard image will feature a photo of Kai and a request to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 with any information on his whereabouts.
“We want everyone to be on the lookout for Kai. Our investigators are working tirelessly to locate him, and we are asking for the public’s help as part of that ongoing effort,” said Media Relations Officer Corporal Laura Hirst. “The billboards are another method among many which we are using to get the word out about Kai and help move our investigation forward.”
Burnaby RCMP was first contacted about Kai on September 26, 2025, when a well-being check was requested for him. Investigators have spoken with Kai’s family and have reason to believe he is with a caretaker, who police are actively working to identify.
“We are making a direct appeal to that caretaker or anyone who knows them,” said Cpl. Hirst. “If you have Kai in your care, you need to come forward and contact the Burnaby RCMP. We need to confirm Kai’s safety and well-being.”
In addition, Burnaby RCMP is also making a Serbian-language news release available to the public. The release is being shared on the Burnaby RCMP website and also directly distributed to community members.
“Through our investigation, we’ve learned Kai’s family has close connections in the Serbian community,” said Cpl. Hirst. “We want to ensure our message about Kai being missing reaches as many people as possible.”
Kai is described as being approximately 5’0”, with a thin build, and brown hair. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Kai Pavlovic is urged to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 or their local police.
