Who Wears The Uniform? our oral histories exhibit that recently ran at the Cumberland Gallery last month, is re-opening on May 25th at the RCMP Heritage Centre.

It will be accompanied by Mission: Afghanistan and screenings of the film Fallen Heros: Their Journey Home. This is the first time Mission: Afghanistan will be coming to Saskatchewan.

➡We invite you to attend the opening on May 25th at 3pm at the RCMP Heritage Centre which will be free for the public to attend. The RCMP Heritage Centre is open to the public daily from 10am - 5pm.

As you explore the stories in this exhibit, we hope you will get a glimpse of the amazing experiences, the incredible challenges, the heart breaking sacrifices, the tremendous accomplishments and gain insight into the Canadian experiences of the men and women who have served our country.

“Who Wears the Uniform? Stories of Modern Service in Saskatchewan” was created and designed by RUSI Regina and made possible through the funding from Veterans Affairs Commemorative Partnership Program.

Mission: Afghanistan is a Combined Forces Production in collaboration with Department of National Defence, Directorate of History and Heritage, and the Military Museums. Through a successful fundraising campaign launched by RUSI Regina, it is visiting Saskatchewan for the first time. Our title sponsors are Commissionaires South Saskatchewan, Royal Canadian Legion Sask Command, and the Lumsden Legion Branch #234.
