The RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina is a brilliant, bite-sized visit for anyone curious about the stories that helped shape modern Canada. Sitting right next to the RCMP’s Depot Division (the training academy), it brings more than 150 years of RCMP history to life, from the early days of the North-West Mounted Police through to the modern-day Mountie.

Inside, the experience is set out across six permanent exhibits, using a mix of artefacts, interactive displays and storytelling to explore the people, places and moments that have defined the force over time. One of the fun highlights is the driving simulator, which adds a hands-on element and breaks up the museum-style sections nicely. It’s a good option if you’ve got limited time in Regina but still want something with a strong sense of place and history.
