Our Purpose
This quarterly publication began as a newsletter and is intended
for the collecting fraternity who's interests revolve around the memorabilia,
artefacts, history and information relating to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
and their predecessors, including those Police forces incorporated into the RCMP.
The
quarterly newsletters are intended to provide guidance, information, (both current
and historical), and assistance to individuals and organisations interested in
this specialised collecting theme - based on known collectibles and historic information.
You
are invited to participate by:
" Providing details of your collection
or individual items
" Asking questions
" Placing free want ads,
trade ads or items for sale
" By expanding the number of contacts involving
other collectors of similar interests
Participation enhances your continuing
interest and potential for new contacts worldwide.
Funding
This publication and website are created by volunteers and no subscription
payment is requested for online access. Printed hard copies are available by post.
To request a hard copy please use the "Contact Us" button at the top
of the page and confirm the address for it to be sent to. Payment will however
be required to cover printing and postage costs.
If however you feel
that you would like to make a contribution to a worthwhile charity as an appreciation
of the work being done, then please send donations direct to The Bruce Denniston
Bone Marrow Society, Box 157, Powell River, B.C. Canada V8A 4Z6 whose work is
supported by the Members of RCMP themselves. The society takes its name from a
serving RCMP Member who died from cancer in 1989 and whose death highlighted the
need for better support for victims of cancer throughout Canada and the creation
of a nationwide bone marrow index donor.
Each year this Society has produced
a calendar for sale to the public, illustrated with Arnold Friberg paintings of
Mounties in action or caring for others.
