Saskatoon

Mission & Values

The Saskatoon Division of the RCMP Veterans Association fosters a forward-thinking, supportive environment that honors traditions while promoting the welfare of former RCMP employees and families. In 2023, while the Force celebrated it’s 150^th anniversary, the Division celebrated its 65^th anniversary. We hosted the RCMPVA Annual General Meeting in 2013 and plan to host the 2028 RCMPVA on June 1-3, commensurate with our 70^th year anniversary.
