Canada Hand
Size of Canada and the diversity makes it difficult to find its singular points. Each Canadian city has its own unique landmarks and traditions indigenous British, French and are reinforced by cultures brought by migrants. The result is a vibrant. complex multicultural society.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
However, there are some institutions which are quintessentially Canadian and here we see three – the RCMP, navigation and the national sport of ice hockey.
Probably the most Canadian of all institutions of the country is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) formed as the Northwest Mounted Police in 1873, not long after Canada became a country in 1867.
Spend a day at the Museum of RCMP in Saskatchewan, Regina offers unique insights on this Canadian agency law enforcement. Located at the Academy of the RCMP, the museum attracts 250,000 visitors each year,
You can browse exhibits as weapons, uniforms, personal effects and mementos from the RCMP. Photographs and material File also tell the story Mounted. You can study about how Chief Sitting Bull took refuge in the region after defeating Custer and his army at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Among the exhibits other Red Indian clothing and artifacts.
If you are in the museum at the right time, you can enjoy the Sergeant Major's Day Parade held from Monday to Friday at 12:45 p.m. and the retirement sunset, a decrease in the flag ceremony, from July to mid August, every Tuesday at 7:00 pm. And miss the chapel of the RCMP hisatoric dating from 1883. With impressive stained glass.
San Roque.
Canadian Pacific Rim city of Vancouver has a long maritime tradition much of which is filed in Vancouver Maritime Museum. Located in Vanier Park, west of False Creek in Vancouver harbor, This museum houses around a theme RCMP schooner called San Roque.
The St Roch was an Arctic exploration ship and was the first spacecraft to pass through the Northwest Passage in both directions. You can take a tour of the ship in which the crew lived for up to 2 years. The St Roch is equipped with magazines and canned food dating from around 1935 to create a mysterious air of authenticity.
Apart from the St Roch, the museum contains galleries of models boats and a workshop where you can see craftsmen at work. You can also view historic ships moored nearby. The Children's nearby Maritime Discovery Center offers a series of practical activities for children.
Hockey Hall of Fame
Now let's go to Toronto, Canada's economic capital and largest city, and the heart of Anglo-Canadian culture and media. It is also the center for Canada's national sport and passion – hockey on ice. And to learn all about ice hockey in one place, head to the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHOF), a museum dedicated to this challenging and fast sport.
Here can enjoy the interactive sessions that bring the sport to life. You can take shots at real-time doormen and guard the network itself to try to stop shots of Gretzky and Messier. You can admire exhibitions such as goalie masks, skates, sticks, jerseys hockey legend and a replica of Canadians Montreal 'locker room.
