What We Do
Through Project Lost & Found, Atticus & Finch provides our professional services and equipment to assist families in locating their loved ones. This is done at no additional expense to the families, outside of the initial application fee. These services were developed out of a year long pilot program that was conducted with ten families across Canada in 2025. For Project Lost & Found, these services were expanded and further developed to provide families with affordable and accessible support in the hours, days, months, and years after a loved one disappears.
