The police force is asking people with information about Brooks's whereabouts to come forward and share what they know with police or Crime Stoppers.
Brooks, who is from the St. Mary's First Nation, was last seen wearing blue jeans, a dark brown jacket and black boots.
Police say she is five feet three inches tall, weighs 115 pounds, and has brown eyes and black hair.
