Marking Canada 150th on the Capilano suspension bridge

More than 100 British Columbia RCMP officers put on a spectacular display to help celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Dressed in their red tunics, the officers of the Lower Mainland detachment stood shoulder-to-shoulder on North Vancouver’s Capilano Suspension Bridge to create this dramatic tribute. Originally built in 1889, the bridge above the Capilano River stretched 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) over the water. Since then it has been much been rebuilt but is still a workout to cross and subject to wind.
