The Ottawa Division of the RCMP Veterans’ Association is comprised of retired regular members (police officers), civilian members and public servants who live mainly in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. The Division is trending towards younger members and improved gender balance.
Consistent with the objectives of the Association, your Ottawa Division is committed to acting in accordance with its “three C’s”…
CARE: We take care of one another.
CONNECT: We reach out to the RCMP and the broader police community.
COMMUNITY: We commit to making our community a better place.

The November function is the annual dinner (Dining In) and the May function is the annual dinner and dance to which the Division invites the commissioner and other dignitaries. The Division usually holds its annual general meeting on the same night as the regular meeting in December.
