The RCMP Heritage Centre will now get the funding needed to make it a national museum. (Julie Toppings)
Regina s RCMP Heritage Centre has received funding from the federal government to become a national museum.
The funding was a promise in the 2019 election and part of the federal government s latest budget on April 19, but some details are emerging now. This is a big day, RCMP Heritage Museum board chair Steve McLellan said. We have been advocating for a very long time to have the RCMP heritage centre to become a national museum, which with it has different standards and opportunities.
Few Indigenous officers among RCMP s higher ranks, data shows Raffy Boudjikanian © Kirk Fraser/CBC Retired RCMP inspector Stephen Gloade stands in front of the force s Heritage Centre in Regina, Sask. As a Mi kmaw from Millbrook First Nation in Nova Scotia, he is one of a few Indigenous members who have made it to a commissioned rank in the force.
When Carolyn Wagner joined the Mounties in 1986, the iconic bright-red serge and hat symbolized a path out of an unsatisfactory career with the Canadian military not the dark history many Indigenous communities have associated with the RCMP.
The role the Mounties played in Canada s residential schooling system, for example, is not what we were taught in depot, Wagner said, referring to her training years. Rather, the RCMP presented itself as saviours of the Indigenous people.
