The Origins of Our Organization
The Association has been in existence since 1886. It was incorporated under the name Royal Northwest Mounted Police Veterans' Association by Letters Patent under the Companies Act on January 14, 1924, and steps were taken on December 1, 1954 to change the Association's name to the current RCMP Veterans' Association (RCMPVA).
The Division forms part of the RCMPVA, a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. The organization endeavours, as best is possible, to pick up where the RCMP leaves off after a member retires. We will help in,
- Establishing appropriate contact with various government agencies
- Assisting the member or dependents through , or providing some financial assistance when none other is available
- Act as an advocate to the RCMP for the interests of former members
Our Mission Statement
“The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Veterans’ Association, proud of our traditions, commits to promote the physical, social and economic welfare of former members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and their immediate families and to be of service to our communities and Canada when required or requested through rendering assistance to the Police, especially the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in matters of common concern.”
