Come one, come all! To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the RCMP, the Nanaimo RCMP is hosting an Open House for the public. The event, which will showcase a variety of RCMP careers, personnel, and equipment, is scheduled to run from 10 AM to 2 PM, rain or shine, on Saturday May 13, 2023.

This event will have a number of static displays and interactive booths for all ages that will provide the public some insight into a variety of career opportunities and equipment that are at the disposal of the RCMP.

The plans are to include displays of the Emergency Response Team (ERT), their Tactical Armored Vehicle (TAV), the Vancouver Island Tactical Team, West Coast Marine’s large Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB), the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team, Police Dog Services, Traffic Services, Forensic Services, the Nanaimo Bike Unit, RCMP Explosives Disposal Unit, and much more. There will also be a Police car for the young at heart to explore.

There will be displays and interactive booths and the RCMP recruiting on hand to answer any questions of budding Mounties. Other booths will showcase the 2023 Tour De Rock riders and Crime Stoppers. Community Policing volunteers will also be on hand to provide information on a variety of volunteer opportunities throughout Nanaimo. We are bringing back the popular tours of the detachment’s cellblock and with any luck, Safety Bear will also be in attendance, said Jon Stuart, Community Policing Coordinator for the City of Nanaimo.

Opening ceremonies kick off at 10 AM- come early to get a slice of cake and we look forward to seeing you.
