Between 2006 and 2010, the RHCA initiated 12 historical re-enactments, community festivals, concerts and other events in 11 different communities and also published one book. RHCA events attracted over 10,000 people, major media attention and raised over $30,000 for heritage and community organizations in Saskatchewan.Even from remote Ontario, I was frequently impressed by the original and successful historical events the RHCA created around rural Saskatchewan and how effectively they promoted them. Happily, I got to write up the organization's doings -- all too briefly -- in a Beaver column in 2009.
The RHCA goes out on a high note. publishing their first book, Fort Walsh to Wood Mountain: The North-West Mounted Police Trail, in the next few days. (More info here.) Well done, Mike Fedyk.
