For generations, Canadians have answered the call to serve.

On Remembrance Day, the RCMP joins Canadians in honouring the brave women and men who have served our country, past and present. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to others have helped safeguard the freedoms we enjoy today.

As we wear our poppies and observe moments of silence, we reflect on the sacrifices they made and remember those who never returned home.

Lest we forget. 🇨🇦

Connection is protection.

Checking in with a phone call or visit can have a big impact.

During National Senior Safety Week (November 6-12), we're encouraging Canadians to stay connected with the older adults in their lives. Strong social connections can help reduce isolation, protect from scams and prepare seniors to be ready when the unexpected happens.

Together, we can help ensure seniors remain safe, supported, and connected.

In April 2026 the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Federal Policing – Central Region charged, Mr. Andrew McDermott, a federal government consultant for fraudulently overbilling the Government of Canada.

In the summer of 2021, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) launched an investigation into a federal consultant who concurrently worked on multiple Shared Services Canada contracts held by multiple different private sector contractors reporting to multiple different technical authorities. Evidence indicated that the consultant had submitted fraudulent timesheets that resulted in overbilling between May 2020 and June 2022. PSPC referred the case to the RCMP for a possible criminal investigation.

Following the referral, the RCMP’s Sensitive and International Investigations (SII) Unit opened an investigation after it was determined that the consultant may have been fraudulently overbilling. Investigators obtained statements from prime contractors while examining timesheets to confirm that the consultant had overbilled the Government of Canada on separate contracts. The RCMP also uncovered that while he was collecting HST, the contractor failed to pay his remittance to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

As a result, Mr. McDermott paid a restitution amount of $11,079.00 and pleaded guilty to Fraud Under $5000 Section 380(1)(b) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

On October 21st, 2026, Mr. McDermott was sentenced to a12-month conditional sentence.

At the same time, Mr. McDermott pleaded guilty to the Excise Tax Act charge brought forward by the CRA.

The RCMP would like to thank its partners, including the CRA and PSPC, for their collaboration on this investigation.

From October 24 to November 11, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy as a visual pledge to remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.
The RCMP was honoured to receive the first Poppy of the season, marking the launch of the @RoyalCdnLegion 100th Poppy Campaign. Presented by Vimy Legion Branch 145 President Phil Morin at City Hall in London Ontario, the event brought together members of London's civic, police and military communities, including Mayor Josh Morgan.
We encourage all Canadians to wear their Poppy with pride and take a moment to reflect on the courage, service and sacrifice of those who have defended our nation. We will remember them. 🇨🇦

🚴 Supporting those who ride in remembrance

On Sept. 25, Cornwall RCMP member Cst. James Andress and Valleyfield RCMP member Sgt. Hugo Lavoie provided a vehicle escort for participants in the National Police and Peace Officer’s Memorial Ride to Remember as they travelled from the Quebec border to Brockville, Ont.

The cyclists, made up of serving and retired police and military members, ride each year to honour fallen law enforcement and peace officers who died in the line of duty.

The support provided by frontline law enforcement along the route helps ensure riders can proceed safely while allowing them to focus on the memorial purpose of the event.

Thank you to all involved for supporting this important tribute to service and sacrifice. 💙

❤️ Making connections that matter.

Fourteen members of the RCMP's International Anti-Corruption Team visited the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario on Sept. 23, spending time with children, families and healthcare staff across several hospital programs. Joined by Safety Bear and dressed in Red Serge, members shared smiles, colouring activities and words of encouragement with patients and caregivers.

Thank you to CHEO for the warm welcome and for the important work you do every day.

🧡National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day 🧡

As we wear orange today, we reaffirm that every child matters and that reconciliation begins with truth, understanding, and meaningful action.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to reflect on the lasting impacts of residential schools and the ongoing journey toward reconciliation. It is an opportunity for all Canadians to listen, learn, and deepen their understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and experiences.

Today, we honour the Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and stand with their families, communities, and future generations.

Through our Indigenous Liaison Program, the RCMP remains committed to building and strengthening relationships with Indigenous Peoples and communities based on respect, trust, and collaboration.
