\u201cThe Spirit\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Spirit\u201d is a quarterly magazine produced by members of Ottawa Division RCMP Veterans\u2019 Association for the information for its members. The focus is on sharing Veterans\u2019 experiences, projects, initiatives, and goals. The emphasis is on the energy and opportunities that come with retiring from the RCMP and, as all members did during their active service, contributing to the community and supporting each other. Current and past issues of \u201cThe Spirit\u201d are located on our website.

Regular General Meetings (RGM\u2019s)<\/h2>\n

These meetings are a great opportunity to stay in touch with old associates and meet new colleagues. From September to June, the meetings are normally held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm and are held at the General Mess in the RCMP National Headquarters Building, located at 73 Leikin Drive, Ottawa, Ontario. Seeing that Ottawa Division has a large geographic footprint, we are also exploring holding meetings in other areas of the greater Ottawa area if the local membership assists with the planning of such events. Please continue to monitor weekly email bulletins as times, dates and locations may change.<\/p>\n
