    RCMP Heritage Centre National Museum Status Project Project Management RFP Introduction Since opening its doors in 2007, Regina’s RCMP Heritage Centre has engaged thousands of visitors in the story of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and its important role throughout our nation’s history. The Centre’s collections are curated and displayed within an impressive 70,000 square foot facility that has become a provincial architectural icon standing proudly next to the RCMP Training Academy, ‘Depot’ Division. With the support of the Federal Government, the Centre is preparing to write an ambitious new chapter of our story as we take the steps necessary to be recognized as a national museum. To ensure the success of this important initiative, the Board of Directors has chosen to engage a project manager to assist with the planning, coordination, and execution of various tasks and initiatives expected to arise in support of the process. The project manager’s mandate will be to support the realization of the Board’s vision for the Centre as a recognized national museum, completing the process in advance of the 150th anniversary of the RCMP in 2023. RCMP Heritage Centre Overview RCMP members are born all over the world, but they are made in Regina, Saskatchewan at RCMP Training Academy, ‘Depot’ Division. The training centre, the only one of its kind in Canada, has long been of interest to visitors, friends and families of members alike. The RCMP have been training the best and the brightest on its grounds since 1885. Living next door to “Depot” and “F” Division is the majestic RCMP Heritage Centre.

They are a central part of who we are and what we are. They are places of beauty and wonder and heritage. Each tells its own story. Together, they connect Canadians to our roots, to our future and to each other. We see a future in which each of the national historic sites of Canada, whether federally owned or not, enjoys sound commemorative health, and in which our system of sites evolves as our country evolves. Our national historic sites will be places for all Canadians to experience and learn from. They will help our communities to be vibrant and creative, and contribute to our efforts to revitalize Canada’s cities. Together, we will hold these places in trust for this and future generations, while ensuring they contribute to Canada’s sustainable economy and environmental health. Our vision is also for each of Canada’s unique terrestrial and marine regions to be represented by at least one national park or national marine conservation area, for all national parks to be in sound ecological health, for all NMCAs to promote the ecologically sustainable use of our marine resources in a way that harmonizes conservation practices with human activities, and for both national parks and NMCAs to be places for all Canadians to experience and enjoy.

On behalf of the 1350 members of the SFPO we appreciate your continued support in the province of Saskatchewan. Police across the nation have been busy since the Federal Government’s decision to Legalize Cannabis. There were many issues that arose from legalization. Changes were made in the Criminal Code in relation to Impaired Driving. We need to ensure there are approved screening devices that work in climates across the country. And ensuring the dispensaries are properly regulated. Police Agencies continue to train Drug Recognition Experts across the country. Police have worked with Federal and Provincial Governing bodies to ensure that officers have the proper training and equipment to enforce the new laws. Police are ensuring that this is properly regulated and that our youth of the country are not accessing Cannabis. I want to take this time to thank you for your contributions and support. With the generous support of individuals, businesses, and corporations throughout the province, we are able to educate the citizens of the province on Cannabis Awareness. Thank you for continuing to work together to build safe communities throughout Saskatchewan.
