Mounties are putting 100 years of service in Wood Buffalo on paper. As part of the 2013 Centennial Celebration, a commemorative book was commissioned and is now available to the public.

“The highlights were that unknown information,” says Const. Dale Benfeld. “Names throughout history, that are prevalent when you study Canadian history, that have actually walked through as both explorers or leading members of the Northwest Mounted Police, both here and north into Fort Chipewyan,” says Const. Benfeld.

Readers can grab their copy from the detachment’s Victim Services Unit. Limited copies are available.

Proceeds will  support local youth initiatives.
