The search is back on for a pair that went missing almost two years ago.

Sydney Robillard, 21 at the time of disappearance, and Alex Simons, also 21, have been missing since June 2017.

It's suspected their small plane crashed while on a trip from Lethbridge to Kamloops.

Robillard is a formers Okotoks resident and attended Foothills Composite High School.

After receiving new information, search volunteers will now be looking north of Kimberley for the pair, rather than to the west.

Robillard and Simons were on their way from Lethbridge to Kamloops on June 8th, 2017 in a Piper aircraft and were last been seen refuelling at the Canadian Rockies International Airport.

The search had been reduced later in June 2017 after personnel and volunteers had no luck despite the plane being equipped with an electronic locating device.
