Who We Are<\/h2>\n

The RCMP Veterans\u2019 Association has proudly served retired members of the Force since 1886, fostering a lifelong sense of camaraderie, service, and support.<\/p>\n

In Vancouver, Force veterans began gathering in 1912, and that tradition of friendship and connection continues to this day. The Association was formally incorporated as the Royal Northwest Mounted Police Veterans\u2019 Association on January 14, 1924, and officially adopted its current name, the RCMP Veterans\u2019 Association, in 1954.<\/p>\n

Today, the Vancouver Division is one of 31 divisions across Canada and operates as part of a national, not-for-profit organization headquartered in Ottawa. With approximately 430 members throughout British Columbia\u2019s Lower Mainland, the division remains committed to preserving the values and traditions that have united generations of RCMP members.<\/P>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Why Us”
