In the years following the creation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867, the Canadian territory experienced rapid expansion. Faced with the growing threat of alcohol traffickers and bandits ruling the American West, the establishment of a police force quickly became necessary to ensure order and security in the vast expanse of the prairies and regions North. This is how the North-West Mounted Police was created in 1873, responsible for ensuring impartial justice. Essential players in the protection of Indigenous people and newcomers, the story of these soldiers in red tunics is inseparable from the emergence of boom towns sparked by the gold rush and the construction of the railway.

Before the arrival of the railway, Canada was a huge, rugged territory with only a low density of widely dispersed population. As railways between the Atlantic and the Pacific were built, cities began to flourish. Stations become centers of activity and communication. Jobs are being created, businesses are multiplying and, for the first time, Canadians feel united. The creation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867 was possible, in large part, thanks to the railway.
