Day 8<br />
Today you drive to Regina, the<br />
home of the Royal Canadian<br />
Mounted Police.<br />
Originally a tent village called ‘Pile o’ Bones’, the<br />
bustling and friendly town of Regina was renamed<br />
for Queen Victoria. The city’s modern central<br />
business district is gleaming, modern and high-rise<br />
but contrasts with a vast central park, set around<br />
a lake. Regina is the original headquarters for the<br />
North West Mounted Police, the precursor to<br />
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, affectionately<br />
known as ‘Mounties’: the RCMP Centennial<br />
Museum is fascinating and you can still see cadets<br />
parade, with a ritual Sunset Retreat Ceremony<br />
taking place on every Tuesday throughout the<br />
summer months. The interpretive centre tells the<br />
story of their creation to combat the lawlessness<br />
of the west’s whiskey traders. Another highlight is<br />
the Royal Saskatchewan Museum which focuses<br />
on the local First Nations’ history.<br />
LA REATA RANCH, KYLE<br />
In rolling prairies reminiscent of an old western<br />
film, La Reata Ranch lies in a landscape of open<br />
range and canyons, broken by the sandy beaches<br />
of Lake Diefenbaker. La Reata is a working cattle<br />
ranch offering an authentic cowboy experience<br />
from the saddle of a horse. Accommodation is in<br />
charming western-style wooden cabins whilst all<br />
meals, eaten together with the family, are included.<br />
Beginners can have western riding lessons whilst<br />
everyone will have the chance to learn how to<br />
rope and work with cattle or try their first barrel<br />
race. Whilst there is a lot to do every day, there is<br />
always a good lunch break with coffee, beans and<br />
sausages cooked over an open fire with time for<br />
an afternoon snooze in the sun.<br />
The quirky town of Moose Jaw was named after<br />
the Cree word meaning ‘warm breeze’. It was a<br />
major 19th century terminal for the Canadian<br />
Pacific Railway and many downtown buildings date<br />
from this era. In the 1920s, during prohibition, the<br />
town was nicknamed ‘Little Chicago’ and used by<br />
gangster Al Capone to smuggle alcohol into the<br />
USA from a myriad of underground storage<br />
tunnels. The same tunnels were also used by<br />
wretched Chinese immigrants while they struggled<br />
to raise enough money to become citizens. There<br />
are more than thirty murals depicting the story of<br />
Moose Jaw’s history dotted around the town<br />
which makes for a great walking tour.<br />
