RCMP Going To The Ball Game

If your going to be checking out the Blue Jays Red Sox game on the tube this afternoon, keep an eye out for three RCMP officers from home.

Corporal Jean-Marc Paré, Corporal Greg Lupson, Constable Ian Grassman and Staff Sergeant Jamie George of Prince Edward Island will carry the Canadian and American flags prior to the game.

Red Sox management made the request to the Mounties back in July about serving as the Colour Guard for the game.

All four officers are thrilled with the opportunity and are paying their own way to take part.

The game gets started at 2:35pm.
