During her address at RCMP “Depot” Division, The Queen said, “Police work has always been most difficult and demanding, especially in a free and democratic society. I have complete confidence that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will meet this challenge with the same success as in the past.”
The new Guidon of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the flag standard that represents them following British tradition, was consecrated at “Depot” Division by The Queen, Honorary Commissioner of the Force, to mark the occasion.
Lors d'un discours prononcé à la Division dépôt de la GRC, la Reine a déclaré « Le métier de policier a toujours été l'un des plus difficiles et des plus exigeants, tout particulièrement au sein d'une société libre et démocratique.

The marker is along the walkway on the west side of the Queen Elizabeth II Gardens.
Excerpt: Elizabeth II conducted 20 official tours of Canada from 1951 to 2000. Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, made their first appearance in every Canadian province in 1951, on behalf of her ailing father. In her subsequent tours of the country, she toured it as the queen of Canada. In addition to official tours, in the 20th century, the queen made nine stopovers in Canada, to refuel her aircraft.(Submitted on October 18, 2026, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
