Did you know that you can book a program with our Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada giant floor map? This map serves as a valuable hands-on tool used for exploring and engaging groups on the timeline and locations of Residential Schools in Canada, the different types of treaties, and for gaining insights into the connection Indigenous Peoples have with the land.

This is not just limited to classrooms, we also provide adult learning too. To book your group, contact Mark at mark.veneziano@rcmphc.com.

When Baltej Singh Dhillon applied to join the RCMP in 1988, the dress code did not allow beards and turbans in place of the uniform hat. The government removed the ban in 1990. Baltej was the first turbaned Sikh officer in the RCMP.

To learn more about Baltej and other unique stories of the RCMP, visit the "150 Years in 150 Objects" exhibit at the RCMP Heritage Centre.

We are honoured to be a part of the committee whose efforts and support have brought the Indian Residential School Memorial Monument to Regina. Providing opportunities to learn about the artist, Stanley Hunt, and the Monument is one of the many actions we are proud to undertake in our continuous pursuit of, and commitment to, Truth and Reconciliation. Like the Witness Blanket, this piece of art gives the community a chance to explore and understand the effects of a painful part of our history. This photo album captures some impactful moments of commemoration and connection from the opening ceremony held on September 9.

See the Memorial Monument in person:
👉🏽September 9 to October 2
⌚9 am to 4 pm

Have you visited the Place of Reflection yet this summer?

The Place of Reflection is a sacred place conceptualized by Lori Whiteman, and created by artist Lyndon Tootoosis. The stone medicine wheel was made with 1,400 stones, symbolizing the reported number of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada at the time of its creation.

The medicine wheel honours people from all directions. As a living sculpture, visitors may bring stones that represent their lost loved one. The circle is open to anyone, from any culture, religion, gender, or background.
