About RCMP Heritage Centre

For the past 145 years, the RCMP has been an integral part of Canada's historical and cultural landscape, helping to form and protect our great nation and playing a significant role in creating the Canadian identity.

The RCMP Heritage Centre opened on May 23, 2007 to share the RCMP story with the world. Located on the grounds of the RCMP Academy, ‘Depot' Division - the story of the RCMP is appropriately told where Cadets are trained and the story begins.

Housed in a breathtaking stone, glass and concrete building designed by world-renowned architect Arthur Erickson, the RCMP Heritage Centre tells the story of the RCMP using state of the art exhibits, multimedia technologies and engaging programming and tours.

With your donation you will play a critical role in helping the RCMP Heritage Centre share this great Canadian story with the world. No matter the size of the donation, we'll ensure your gift is invested in enhancing the Centre and supporting its important work.
