Police are asking for help finding Gregory, 77, who left his home on August 14 and may appear confused.
He was driving a blue 2016 Honda Civic, licence plate CVY5020. The vehicle was last seen in Cityscape around 7 p.m. on August 14.
Gregory is five foot five and about 165 pounds. He was last seen wearing a white hoodie, blue jeans and a hat.
Watch for the plate, not the person
You will not spot a 77-year-old man from a moving vehicle. You might spot a blue Honda Civic with plate CVY5020 in a parking lot, on a shoulder, or down a side road.
Cityscape sits in northeast Calgary, close to Stoney Trail and Deerfoot Trail.
CVY5020. Write it down.
Don't assume he's still in Calgary
Gregory's vehicle was last seen in Cityscape around 7 p.m. on August 14. That does not mean the search ends at Calgary's city limits.
A missing Calgary senior earlier this year showed how quickly the search area can expand. Diane Cooper left Calgary in April and, within hours, her vehicle had travelled through east-central Alberta and into Saskatchewan. RCMP eventually involved detachments and air resources in both provinces.
The point isn't that the two cases are the same. It's that a person driving while confused can cover a significant distance before anyone knows which direction they went.
For Gregory, that makes sightings of the vehicle especially important.
If you were driving outside northeast Calgary on the evening of August 14, particularly on major routes out of the city, check your dash cam footage before it is overwritten. Most systems record on a loop and overwrite within days.
Where to actually look
Parking lots are the highest-value place to check, and the ones people skip.
Big-box lots, hospital lots, hotel lots, park-and-rides, and the back rows of shopping centres where a car can sit for a day without anyone noticing. A vehicle parked among other vehicles is nearly invisible, which is why plate checks matter more than sweeps of empty roads.
Gas stations along the highways out of the city. Rural approaches and field entrances. Ditches on curves.
If you manage a property with a camera covering a lot or an entrance, August 14 evening is the footage worth pulling.
If you find him
Approach calmly and avoid overwhelming him with questions.
Someone experiencing confusion may have difficulty explaining where they are going, or recognizing that they are lost. The Alzheimer Society of Calgary notes that a person can become disoriented even in familiar surroundings.
Stay nearby if it is safe to do so, and contact police immediately.
If you see him or the vehicle
Call police. In an emergency, call 911.
Share it outside Calgary
Post the plate and the description in community groups beyond the city. Airdrie, Chestermere, Strathmore, Cochrane, Okotoks, and the towns along the highways east and north.
A Calgary-only search covers a fraction of where the vehicle could be.
