BC Highway Patrol is celebrating the 150th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Tuesday, May 23. From 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, BCHP is inviting drivers to celebrate with us at one of the 8 Road Safety Checks that we are planning on highways throughout BC.
Watch for our BCHP officers in their high boots, breeches, and Stetsons as they engage motorists in Road Safety Checks to discuss the need for driving safely as we move into the summer with better weather and driving conditions.
BCHP officers will be inviting motorists to join in our celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the RCMP, says Chief Superintendent Holly Turton. People will have an opportunity to Spin to Win for BCHP swag such as sunglasses, reflective zipper pulls, key light whistle key chains, and more. You can also get a photo with a Mountie in Red Serge or on your own with our BCHP backdrops. And what would a celebration be without refreshments?
BCHP officers will also be on hand to discuss careers in the RCMP if you are thinking about what to do with your future and/or a possible change in career.
At some of the stops, we will also have motorcycles, drones, and other specialty vehicles on display in case you are curious about the BCHP, what we do, and how we do it.
