"The media have a role to play in helping families find their missing children by keeping cases in the public eye, especially when the child has been missing for a long time, Dzikowicz says.
"What people don't fully realize is every time we talk about a case in the media, there is more information that comes forward," she said.
In turn, the general public can help by reporting any information they have or remember later that could be related to a case — no matter how insignificant it may seem or how long it's been.
"People sometimes forget that the smallest piece of information can bring answers to a family because it can be a piece in the puzzle," she said. "In most of these cases across our country, the police have a good picture of what may have happened, but they just need that one little piece to help bring a child home."
After the vigil, scheduled from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., members of the public are invited to the Notre-Dame-du-Cap Basilica for the “light a candle for a friend” event which runs until 9:00 p.m.
Participants are encouraged to light a candle and offer a prayer for Cedrika and her family.
The Cedrika Provencher Foundation also announced that a simultaneous vigil will be held in Rivest Park, on Iberville Boulevard in Repentigny.
The POI probably doesn't even have the Red Acura anymore.
After 10 days, Quebec provincial police have ended their ground search of a wooded area near Trois-Rivières for new evidence in the case of Cédrika Provencher.
The SQ did not reveal any details about what, if anything, was found during the search, but said investigators are satisfied with the work that was done.
In a news release, the police force said searchers could return to the site next spring if necessary.
The search resumes in the woods near Saint-Maurice today.
Back in December, hunters found her skull in a wooded area on the side of Highway 40 in the community of St. Maurice, about 15 kilometres from where the girl was last seen.
For now, it's not clear why the SQ has decided to resume the search.

"I can't say when it will end, whether it will be today (Tuesday) or tomorrow (Wednesday)," he said. "What I can say is that it will end when all of our verifications tied to the information we received are complete," said Lapointe, adding that Tuesday’s operation was “completely independent and separate from what was done last December."
Lapointe wouldn't say what information triggered the search, but he reminded people to contact police immediately if they have any tips related to the case -- regardless of how mundane they might think they are.
"Sometimes people have information they think is insignificant," he said. "That's not true. Any new information, for us, coupled with what we already have, can help us advance the case."
