Golden retriever mix, red collar, NOVA tag

I lost my golden retriever mix yesterday around 3pm near the Empress Hotel on Government Street in Victoria. He is about 60 pounds, with a shiny golden coat and a small white patch on his chest. He wears a bright red collar with a white metal name tag that reads NOVA, and there is a tiny crescent-shaped scar behind his left ear. He is friendly but a bit wary of strangers, and he might wander toward the Inner Harbour by the boats. I am really worried; this dog is a beloved member of our family and has sentimental value. If you have seen him, please reach out; I would be unbelievably grateful.
