Regina Day 2

Today Debbie had to work so Alan and I went to visit the RCMP museum in town. Whilst small it tells of the history and work of the police in Canada. The force was formed about 130 years ago as the North West Mounted Police to protect the areas of Canada which did not have a police presence. The force later transformed into a national police force and the national training centre was created in Regina. The museum was quite good and the intro film we were shown in the auditorium was well done abate a little kitsch with a sort of video based narrator on a plinth at the side of the the screen. The odd bit was of the 200 odd seats in the auditorium, Allan and I were the only ones in there! Back at Debbie's we had a great roast lamb dinner and chatted till late.
