The RCMP are getting the birthday party started early.
On Thursday, more than 100 Mounties gathered for a striking photo-op on North Vancouver’s Capilano Suspension Bridge to help celebrate Canada’s upcoming 150th birthday.
Dressed in their iconic red serge, the officers, who volunteered for the photo and came from detachments all over the Lower Mainland, posed shoulder-to-shoulder for this historic photo.
“This was a once-in-a-lifetime and once-in-a-career opportunity to be part of an historic photo occasion,” North Vancouver RCMP Supt. Chris Kennedy said in a release.
