Here a quick fact about the Mounties:
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, better known as The Mounties, is one of Canada’s national symbols. The iconic red uniform is instantly recognizable, but did you know that it wasn’t the original uniform color? The Mounties were originally established in 1873 and wore green uniforms until 1896 when they switched to the now-famous red. The mounted police also have their own musical ride, which has been performed since 1876 and showcases the skills of The Mounties on horseback.
The Mounties also have a canine unit, first established in 1925 and now consisting of over 200 dogs trained in a variety of disciplines including search and rescue, narcotics detection, and cadaver recovery. The Mounties uphold a long tradition of upholding justice in Canada – the motto “maintains le Droit” translates to “uphold the right.” So next time you see one of The Mounties on patrol, be sure to give them a respectful nod for their service to Canada.
