Welcome

The RCMP Heritage Centre is developed and operated by a non-profit organization, the Mounted Police Heritage Centre. 

Using state of the art exhibits, multimedia technologies and engaging programming the Centre tells the story of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police including the Force's role in the development of Canada, the role of the RCMP in policing over 200 communities across Canada, the challenges of serving as Canada's Federal Police Force, and the role the RCMP plays internationally. 

The RCMP Heritage Centre is a two-phase development.  The first phase of development was completed in late-May 2007 with opening celebrations taking place on May 23, the 134th anniversary of the formation of the Force. 

With capital funding provided jointly by the Government of Canada, the Province of Saskatchewan, and private donors the RCMP Heritage Centre has completed construction of the building, development of 10,000 sq.ft. of exhibits, a 27-minute multimedia show, a 2,000 sq.ft. temporary exhibit gallery and a 2,800 sq. ft. community programming room.  Topics covered by the exhibits in this phase are both historical and modern in scope.  The visitor will leave with an understanding of the role that the RCMP played in settling the west, how the Force has changed and adapted to meet the needs of Canadians in the last century, and how the modern-day RCMP works in communities here at home and in countries around the world.

The second phase of development is scheduled to begin in 2008.  All monies raised from the national Protect and Preserve Capital Campaign will be used to complete this second phase.  An additional 8,000 sq.ft of exhibits will be developed which includes three new exhibits: The RCMP Musical Ride; The RCMP in Popular Culture; and Stories from the RCMP, implementing a series of outdoor interpretive elements, including enhanced educational and public programming, and also completing several architecture elements intended to enhance the visitor experience.

While the RCMP Heritage Centre will be a major tourism attraction for Regina and Saskatchewan, its mission and purpose is to serve as an education centre for Canadians about the historic and modern role of the RCMP.
