After 24 years of serving the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Roxane Baalim’s dedication to keeping citizens safe has been rewarded.
Ms. Baalim, who grew up in the Columbia Valley as Roxane McGilvery, has recently been immortalized in a mural that honours firefighters, veterans and RCMP staff by artist Barry Overn. She joined the RCMP in 1989 and retired in the fall of 2013.
The mural has been painted on the side of McMinis & Company near Highway 41 in Vermilion, AB.
