History is like Frankenstein's monster; all it takes to make it come alive is the right education, a large body of artifacts exhumed from the earth, and an electrical storm. Learn from the past with today's Groupon: for $5, you get one admission to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Heritage Centre (up to a $12 value), located on Dewdney Avenue. Housed in a state-of-the-art facility on the RCMP Academy grounds, the RCMP Heritage Centre offers an amalgamation of permanent and temporary exhibits, multimedia, and special programs. Get a Red Serge surge of knowledge as you explore the Mounties’ long history, with thousands of artifacts tracing the policing body’s formation, role in settling the West, and current duty of protecting the nation from 50-foot Michael Bublés. Take in the half-hour multimedia presentation Tour of Duty at the centre’s 124-seat theatre, or check out a series of special events, each of which brings forgotten aspects of the RCMP’s history to light, like a gang of fireflies that steals your diary.
