This little museum facility in Calgary has a great mix of historical information and interactivity (I love the fact that you can put on the red serge and have your photo taken as if you were a North West Mounted Police person!). It is rather a small facility so one should be aware of this, although they are planning a major expansion in the coming years so that might change.
I was visiting (and volunteering) at one of their most busy events: the Family Day Winter Carnival. And this event was a very busy one indeed, but it was well run including activities for children and adults alike (though most activities were oriented toward children and young families). Food services were top notch in this facility and the outdoor space was very well utilized for sleigh rides, maple taffy on the snow, and hot chocolate while the indoor space included a scavenger hunt, crafts, temporary tattoos, carnival games and performances in the theatre!
The volunteer program here is quite well developed and the use of veterans to help out with aspects of the event was very beneficial to all the attendees. Overall I was quite pleased with how well run this very small facility is and would recommend a visit if you have a young family, or if you have a small amount of time and would like to learn more about the early history of the North West Mounted Police.
