The ribbon has been cut on a new RCMP detachment in Pelican Narrows.

Commanding Officer Rhonda Blackmore, S/Sgt Rod Rudnisky, Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) Chief Brian Hardlotte, Mayor Ovide Michel and Councillor Sarah Swan were joined by elders for the event on June 16.

“The modern, welcoming facility is something to be celebrated: it will allow Pelican Narrows RCMP to continue to evolve operations, and provide efficient and effective policing services in Pelican Narrows,” said the RCMP in an emailed statement.

“Saskatchewan RCMP offers our appreciation to Pelican Narrows –and all the Indigenous communities who receive policing services from the RCMP, and who continue to welcome us to their land and to their communities.”

Following the ribbon cutting, the community got to join in a barbecue, snow cones, popcorn and some other goodies.
