EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1876, where we witness a significant moment in Canadian history. The image showcases the North West Mounted Police at Fort Calgary, frozen in time by an American photographer from the 19th century. In this snapshot of the past, we see a diverse group of individuals coming together under the iconic Union Jack flag. Among them are strong and courageous female and male Mounties, proudly seated on their majestic horses. Their presence symbolizes law enforcement and protection in Canada's wild west. Notably, there is also representation from Indigenous communities with Native Canadians, Inuit people, and Métis individuals standing alongside their fellow countrymen. This inclusion highlights the rich cultural tapestry that makes up Canada's heritage. The horses featured in this photograph remind us of their vital role as trusted companions for transportation during those times. They were not only essential for travel but also played a crucial part in various sporting activities enjoyed by both sportswomen and sportsmen alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's history and its commitment to unity amidst diversity. It encapsulates an era when brave men and women came together to forge a path forward for Canada on its journey towards becoming one of North America's most vibrant nations.
