About the RCMP Heritage Centre:
Designed by the world-famous architect, Arthur Erickson, the RCMP Heritage Centre is a statuesque building that is home to the story of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. This non-profit organization is located in the capital city of Regina, and neighbours the RCMP Saskatchewan headquarters and “Depot” Division. Our galleries explore over a century of RCMP history, from the formation of the North-West Mounted Police in 1873, to the modern-day Mountie. With 150 years of history to share, our staff are dedicated to providing education, reflection, and dialogue.
Visit https://rcmphc.com/ for more details about our education, programming, and events.
We acknowledge that the land on which we gather, and where the RCMP Heritage Centre is located is Treaty 4 territory, which is the traditional territory of the Anihšinābēk, Nêhiyawak, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota Peoples, and the original home of the Métis Nation. We recognize and acknowledge their culture and contributions.
