We’ll explore the high-stakes moments of frontier justice and the shifting role of the "Mountie" in the Canadian soul. Join us for a deep dive into the legends, the reality, and the enduring legacy of this national icon.

PRESENTER: After 30 years of wearing the badge, Sgt. Paulette Breau has seen the history of the RCMP from the inside out. Since retiring in 2017, she has combined her deep institutional knowledge with a passion for teaching—first as a professor at Fanshawe College, and later instructing recruits at the Ontario Police College, lecturing on law, evidence and drugs. Whether she is lecturing in her home community of Brantford or sharing stories on an Alaskan cruise, Paulette’s presentations on law and history are informed by a lifetime of service and a career spent at the heart of Canadian justice.
