where did the north west mounted police live
North-West Mounted Police The North-West Mounted Police was created as a consequence of the expansion of the newly formed Dominion of Canada into the North-West Territories during the 1870s.[2] The Dominion had been formed in 1867 by the confederation of the British colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, but the extensive lands to the north-west remained governed by the Hudson's Bay Company.[3] The new Dominion government was keen to expand westwards, in part due to fears that the United States might annex the region.[4] It agreed to purchase the company's lands in exchange for £300,000 and various grants of land, adding around 2,500,000 square miles (6,500,000 km2) of territory to the Dominion in 1871.[5]
How the West Was Fun The film was filmed in the Canadian Rockies, one hour west of Calgary, Alberta at Rafter Six Ranch Resort. Shots in the city were done within Calgary, including a ride on Calgary Transit's C-Train.
