The last time that the RCMP Musical Ride visited our community was 9 years ago in celebration of Canada's 150th Birthday - though this was still not its first appearance in Maple Ridge.
This long-standing Canadian tradition has been across the country many times. It began in 1887 as a uniquely Western attraction, while slowly spreading across the country over the coming decades, performing some years and not in others. The Musical Ride gained presence worldwide by performing not only across Canada, but the world, visiting places like Ireland, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
The first time that the ride was performed in Maple Ridge was in 1992, where our long-time volunteer Tom Cameron began his work with the association as an announcer. Later performances occured in 2013, when proceeds from the event went to Maple Ridge Therapeutic Riding, and 2017, when they went towards Cops for Cancer.
This year's RCMP Musical Ride is unique in that there will be no ticket costs - the event is completely free for the public to come see. We'll be accepting donations for parking, which will support the Alouette Men's Shed. They'll be performing for two days next week, we hope you all can make it!
