Naming contest launches for RCMP foals

Story by Justine Kelsie

Olga, Olaf and Ollie could be some of the names picked for RCMP foals that were born in the spring. Officers are looking for a name that starts with the letter “O” and comes from a child 14 years old or younger.

A pick will come from each of the 13 provinces and territories and for the first time, a classroom from across Canada will be picked to name the 14th horse as a group.

Winners will be announced April 30th and they will receive a prize pack from the RCMP including a framed photo of the baby horse.

Names will be selected by instructors of the RCMP Musical Ride Branch. Children can enter their picks on the RCMP website.
