The commemorative day was established after Cliff Graydon, the MLA from Emerson, brought forward a private members bill last fall.

Dozens gathered at D Division on Portage Avenue to observe the first RCMP day.

Mounties from the traffic services unit will be wearing traditional uniforms and using older technology at a road safety check stop near Lower Fort Garry as part of the celebration.
