EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1885, offers a general view of Regina, Saskatchewan, a city rich in Canadian history. At the time, Regina served as the headquarters of the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP), an important law enforcement agency that played a crucial role in maintaining order during the late 19th-century Canadian expansion into the western territories. The image showcases the bustling activity of this frontier town, with its wooden buildings, horse-drawn wagons, and people going about their daily lives. The imposing presence of the NWMP barracks, located at the center of the frame, underscores the significance of the organization in this period. The image also reveals the rugged terrain and expansive prairie landscape that characterized the region, providing a stark contrast to the more densely populated areas of Eastern Canada. Regina's history is deeply intertwined with that of the NWMP, which was instrumental in establishing the city as a hub for commerce, transportation, and settlement. The arrival of the railway in 1882 further solidified Regina's importance as a key transportation hub, paving the way for the city's growth and development. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering viewers a glimpse into the daily life of a frontier town during a pivotal moment in Canadian history. The image invites us to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of settling the Canadian West and the role that the North-West Mounted Police played in shaping the country's future.
