The RCMP Heritage Centre located at 5907 Dewdney Avenue in Regina SK CAN is a great place to spend an afternoon learning about the history and missions of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Blasterz HIGHLY recommend also taking the tram tour of the nearby RCMP Depot, where all Mounties are trained. We really enjoyed visiting the RCMP chapel, featuring so much beautiful woodwork made by Mounties themselves.
