Special Constable Exhibit Exposition sur les gendarmes auxiliaires

A new exhibit at Yellowknife’s museum is delving into the history and role RCMP special constables played in the North. The territorial government invited former special constables and their families to the opening of the Canada 150 exhibit, called We Took Care of Them, on Thursday at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre.

“The specials were the RCMP’s GPS in those days, because they knew the land. They were their guides. They were their interpreters. They provided the necessary tools so that the members would learn how to survive in a real harsh environment.”
