The law in Canada is that if a bank account has been inactive for 10 years, the money in that account must be turned over to the Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada is currently holding almost $1 billion and they have a website that lets you search their database to see if you or someone you know is the owner of any of it. It’s a long shot but maybe you had a bank account as a kid with a few bucks in it and you forgot about it. It only takes a few seconds to find out.
