Welcome
Through the use of natural materials such as Tyndall Stone and red cedar, Arthur Erickson's design speaks to the North-West Mounted Police's critical role in the opening of the Canadian west. It was a time when NWMP posts sprang up across the prairies as the Force embarked on what has become more than 139 years of service to Canada. The east face of the building, where the roof reaches toward the sky, is reflective of today's RCMP - a modern police force that is committed to serving Canadian communities and the world both today and in the future.
