Still no sign of her?
Have WPS given any more details why they are worried for her well-being? Do they suspect foul play? Does she have a condition that requires specialized care?

She doesn't appear to have an FB that I can find, but did find an announcement on the Winnipeg Police Service FB page, dated September 10. There's one comment by her mother that is quite concerning.

New news release today:

Winnipeg Police Service : Newsroom : October 9, 2019 Media Release - Winnipeg Police Service - City of Winnipeg

The Winnipeg Police Service continues to request the public's assistance with locating a missing 31-year-old female, Miranda BELLE. She was last seen during the evening of Saturday, August 17, 2019, in the Grant Park area of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

BELLE is described as Metis, 5’6” in height, 100lbs, with medium length brown hair and brown eyes.

Investigators with the Winnipeg Police Missing Persons Unit, in collaboration with the Homicide Unit, believe the circumstances around Bell's disappearance are suspicious and that she may have been a victim of foul play.

Police are requesting residents and businesses in and around Winnipeg to check their properties, fields, and outbuildings as well as consider reporting anything suspicious that may have occurred during the evening of Saturday, August 17, 2019.

The Fall season brings a loss of foliage in the woods as well as a significant number of hunters roaming rural areas. Investigators want to remind people to be cognizant of any unusual items they may find. Items that may seem insignificant to the casual observer may have significant relevance to the investigation. If anything suspicious is located, do not touch it or disturb the area around it. Instead, the public is asked to immediately call police.

Investigators have identified a vehicle that may be associated with Miranda’s disappearance. The vehicle is a grey coloured 2012 Dodge Caravan.

Anyone who may have observed a similar vehicle that appeared out of place or acting suspiciously during the evening of Saturday, August 17, 2019 is asked to call investigators.

Police are asking anyone with information regarding her disappearance or whereabouts to contact the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit at 986-6250.

From another media article:

"We're really looking for closure for the family and we really expect to find Miranda not alive," said Const. Rob Carver. "I wish I could say something different."

Harvey said the last call from Belle's cellphone was made at 12:32 a.m. on Aug. 18. She called a friend, asking to be picked up from an address on Dudley Avenue.

"It was a distress call asking for help," Harvey said. "She needed to leave the place she was at."
...
"Investigators have a sense as to what's happened here but we're in the stages … where we aren't able to move forward with a conclusion."

ETA: The distress call sounds similar to Jessica Easterly's case.

 

[The Night Watchman]

"I hate standing up here and not being forthcoming, but in the midst of an investigation where we aren't able to give you a conclusion that everybody wants, I'm going to respond like this.… If we have a sense of what happened, that means we have a sense as to suspect or suspects, and we have a sense as to timelines, and we have a sense as to events," he said.

"But that's as close as I'm going to be able to get."

"Do we believe that there's one specific individual preying on the most vulnerable in our society? That's not the case here," he said.

Yes, I fell into this private investigator's page this afternoon.

The weather is becoming outright dangerous. I hope they aren’t out there this weekend; her recovery is not worth risking anyone's life or limbs, not with the way visibility's going.

 

[Claroon]

Winnipeg and area has a snow storm? Too bad.

Winnipeg and area has a snow storm? Too bad.

They're calling it a 'historic' winter storm that could drop up to four feet of snow in some rural locations. Right now the temperature's beginning to drop and the wind's picking up.
