RCMP Academy, Depot Division
The only training academy for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police across Canada. Guided tours include the parade square, the chapel and the training grounds.
Depot Division has trained all new Royal Canadian Mounted Police recruits since 1885. The RCMP chapel on the grounds, built in 1883, is the oldest surviving building in Regina. Joining a tour organized by the Heritage Centre gives access to the base, including the chapel and training grounds. On weekdays, you can watch recruits on parade during the Sergeant Major’s Parade. Some summer evenings feature a “Sunset Retreat” ceremony with a Mounted Police horse show, which requires a separate ticket. The base is an active facility, so visitors must join a guided tour and follow the photography rules.
