Who presented the Force with its second Guidon?

Who presented the Force with its second Guidon?

• A. King George VI in 1946 at Halifax
• B. Governor General Roland Michener in 1964 at Depot Division
• C. Queen Elizabeth II in July 1973 at Depot Division
• D. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1968 at Ottawa

Answer: (C)

The question tests knowledge of the RCMP’s ceremonial handing of its Guidon, a symbolic flag that represents the Force and its continuity with the Crown. The second Guidon was presented by Queen Elizabeth II in July 1973 at Depot Division. This matches the established royal tradition of a sovereign personally presenting the Guidon during a formal ceremony at the RCMP’s training depot, signifying a renewal of ceremonial colours. The other scenarios don’t fit the documented event: they involve different presenters, dates, or locations and thus don’t align with the official presentation at Depot Division in 1973.
