Documents show the Mounties have been planning to mark the event since at least last summer – and they say they are not adjusting those plans in light of recent criticisms
The RCMP is hoping to boost recruitment numbers in marking its upcoming 150th anniversary – even as the national force’s structure and practices come under damning new scrutiny.
The Mounties were also looking to have Google post a special RCMP “doodle” on its search bar, and work with sports leagues such as the CFL to promote the anniversary. “Our approach to marking our 150th anniversary has always been grounded in a few key themes and objectives, which has not changed in light of the report,” she said in a written statement.
Monaghan said that attaching the RCMP to the story of Canada’s nationhood creates a barrier to enacting change in the institution. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said he would need to see more details about that proposal, and he questioned how it would affect training in the face of staffing shortages.
