RCMP Heritage Centre pushed for more outreach as part of expansion program
Steve McLellan, the centre’s board chair at the time, replied to say while the next steps were clear, “I must note the degree of due diligence you outline might be perceived by some to be undue hesitancy.”
Even before the COVID-19 struck, documents show the centre, which sees around 20,000 visitors per year, was struggling. It brought in $3.5 million in 2019, but spent $3.7 million. McLellan, who Robinson said has since retired from the board, did not respond to emails requesting comment in time for publication.Ultimately, the federal government offered the centre $4.5 million in its spring 2021 budget. In late December, the centre published a report on what it heard through a consultation process that began in early 2022.
Robinson said she believes it’s a “rock solid” plan for a policing museum that balances honouring the sacrifices of RCMP members, while “creating a space to have difficult conversations.”
