ESTEVAN — Estevan RCMP invited the community to join them in celebrating the organization's 150th birthday.
The festivities were held at the Rotary Hall area of the Woodlawn Regional Park. Admission to the park was waived for the day, and guests were treated to a free lunch and cake. A variety of bouncy castles were installed at the location for the kids.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police marked its 150th anniversary of service to the public and security of the country on May 23.
"This major historical milestone is a chance to reflect on our storied past and show pride in our RCMP family. It also allows us to consider how we continue on the path to a more modern, inclusive and trusted RCMP," the RCMP said on their website.
"We serve with honour to keep Canada and Canadians safe from coast-to-coast-to-coast. It's the amazing people, our employees and the communities we serve that keep us filled with pride and purpose."
The RCMP has over 658 detachments across Canada. They have 134 working dog teams and 122 police service horses, over 12,300 vehicles, 34 aircraft and 332 marine assets.
The celebrations of the milestone anniversary are held all across the country throughout 2023.
