The public know them best in their bright red tunics, wide-brimmed hats, and erectly mounted on spirited horses. To-day the force administers law and order all across the Arctic in addition to the rural areas of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. It has jurisdiction anywhere in the Dominion. Inscribed on the regimental colours are records of Empire's wars in which the Force has take part. Honours include the Riel Rebellion in Western Canada in 1885, the South African War at the turn of the century, the Great War of 1914-18 and the Expedition into Siberia at the end of the European conflict. The force was formed in 1873 to provide protection for settlers in the Canadian west. You see them here performing their renewed "Musical Ride" a master-piece of showmanship and skill.
