The RCMP Musical Ride is celebrating its 150th Anniversary this year and has been touring across Canada to celebrate. A former resident from The Pas and RCMP member, Constable Katherine Hansen, is a part of the RCMP Musical Ride and on this commemorative anniversary tour.
“I was born and raised in The Pas,” said Constable Katherine Hansen. “I lived in The Pas up until I turned 30 years old and went into the RCMP. I worked on The Pas Fire Department and The Pas EMS, with the focus on going into nursing, when I then decided to join the RCMP instead. I was accepted into training in 2009, and always wanted to be a police officer. I knew a lot of the police officers in The Pas and decided it was the best fit for me.
“I worked for the RCMP sine 2009 to 2019, then I joined the RCMP Musical Ride. I was stationed in Alberta in the communities of Fort McMurray and Viking, before I went into the training for the RCMP Musical Ride. I’ve been with the RCMP Musical Ride ever since.”
