Welcome to the website of the 2014 AGM - June 5 to 8
Friendship. Support. Stay Connected!

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Canada's capital and to offer you an exciting program of activities. June is a beautiful time to be in Ottawa. The average weather is 24 degrees. Along with many historic buildings and museums, the city offers you great scenery with the heritage Rideau Canal and many parks located in the downtown core of Ottawa.

A few words about our theme:

Friendship - one of the underpinning concepts of our event but,more importantly, of the overall Association.

Support - as an Association we willingly provide support – even beyond and besides friendship. This is particularly true for surviving spouses who may not see themselves initially as "friends" but will unequivocally receive support.

Stay connected - the Association is a vehicle by which retired and retiring members can maintain those valuable connections made during their career association with the RCMP.

The dots – are indicative of today's electronic communications and the ease with which we can in fact remain supportive and connected with friends even over long distances – again a reality for many retired and retiring members.

A group of volunteers is already hard at work developing an exciting program of activities for you.
