Hope and the surrounding area still attract tourists from abroad, particularly during the busy summer travel season, and seeing police in a casual, welcoming environment is part of the fun, the agency noted.

“For many visitors, especially those travelling internationally, meeting the RCMP is a uniquely Canadian experience. We loved seeing all the excitement throughout the day!” Tourism Hope Cascades & Canyons said online.

The tourism agency is thanking local Mounties for opening their doors, making visitors and locals feel welcome, and creating such a memorable event.

“Thank you as well to all the participating emergency services and organizations, and to everyone who came out!” THCC said. “Turns out the cell block really can be a tourist attraction. It just helps when everyone is allowed to leave afterward.”
