RCMP NATIONAL MEMORIAL CEMETERY AT BEECHWOOD
MAIN ENTRANCE – INSTALLATION OF THE BISON PILLARS
2015
Bison columns will be the gateway to the RCMP National Memorial Cemetery (RNMC)
A team from the Ottawa Division of the RCMP Veterans’ Association has another milestone in the project at the RCMP National Memorial Cemetery at Beechwood. ……………………………..
The two Bison head columns flank the northwest entrance of the RNMC at Beechwood. The bison is of historical significance as it provided food and clothing for the March West of the original North West Mounted Police. Today, it continues to be reflected in the Force’s badge. A laurel of thirteen maple leaves surround the Bison heads, representing Canada’s ten provinces and three territories.
