The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride

The Kiwanis Club of Sault Ste. Marie is proud to welcome the RCMP Musical Ride to Sault Ste. Marie June 15 and 16, 2013.

One of Canada's most recognized icons, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Musical Ride, will be performing two shows at the John Rhodes Community Centre on Saturday, June 15 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 16 at 2 p.m.

The RCMP Stables will also be open to the public Friday, June 14 until Sunday, June 16 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (closed during performances).

The RCMP Musical Ride represents a colourful Canadian tradition.

The troop of 32 horses and riders will perform a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music.

Working through a unique medium, they support the RCMP community policing efforts throughout Canada.

The Musical Ride was developed in 1876 by early members of the North-West Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain the local community.

It has evolved over the decades into a uniquely Canadian performance enjoyed by tens of thousands of spectators every year.

Members of the Musical Ride are first and foremost police officers.

They all have at least two years experience in active police work before volunteering for duty with the Musical Ride.

Surprisingly, most have no prior riding experience.

Tickets will be on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, April 15, 2013 at the ESSAR Centre Box Office or www.essarcentre.ca.

You can also call Toll Free 1-866-775-9422.
