RCMP Veterans' Association (PEI)

Help in our Communities & Supporting our Serving Members

As members of the RCMP Veterans Association, our key mandates include looking after our retired colleagues, supporting our serving members and engaging in outreach to our communities.

Serving RCMP Members are often the first on-scene in situations involving children or individuals who may experience mental anguish, stress or other forms of anxiety resulting from an accident, emergency or other situation. In an effort to provide comfort to these children or individuals, our Association provides every RCMP Detachment across the Island with stuffed, plush “Moose Mounties”. These furry friends take the form of a cute moose wearing the iconic RCMP Red Serge. The Moose Mounties represent our commitment to helping people in times of stress and can reassure them during times of uncertainty. 

The Moose Mountie is kept by the recipient, providing a great legacy of the Force and reinforcing our dedication to our communities – as serving and retired members. The PEI Division of the RCMP Veterans Association made the initial investment to provide two Moose Mounties to each Detachment on the Island. To ensure the Detachments have the Mounties always available, our Veterans have committed to individually sponsor them as they are needed.
