"We walked in right away and were greeted by `Good Morning` from the hosts. So much to see and learn. I enjoyed the video presentation, and I even got to meet Indi, the canine ambassador! The Heritage Centre museum, with all its people and experiences, is the crown jewel for this avid RCMP fan." - Heather
