The Ottawa Division of the RCMP Veterans’ Association includes retired police officers, civilian members, public servants, friends, and active Force employees as Associate Members, mainly from Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. The Division is seeing a shift toward younger members and greater gender balance.
Aligned with the objectives and primary role of the Association, the Ottawa Division remains dedicated to its “three C’s” focus:
CARE: Supporting one another and fostering mutual assistance.
CONNECT: Maintaining strong networks through outreach among Association members.
COMMUNITY: Enhancing the Association community by promoting camaraderie.
