Alberta RCMP's Wall of Honour

The Wall of Honour was established in recognition of those members who lost their lives while on duty in Alberta Territory since 1876.

The Wall of Honour was erected in the public lobby of K Division Headquarters, and officially unveiled during a dedication ceremony on January 5, 2002. This was a millennium project, jointly funded by the RCMP Veterans Association of Alberta and the March West Committee, to honour members of the Northwest Mounted Police (NWMP), Royal Northwest Mounted Police (RNWMP), and RCMP who sacrificed their lives in the performance of their duties, while serving in Alberta or the geographic region which is now Alberta, prior to the formation of the Province in 1905.
