Alberta’s top RCMP officer Marianne Ryan retires after 35-year career

“The greatest honour that you could pay me going forward is to be kind and respectful to each other,” she said Friday.

With that, she retired and said goodbye to a career that spanned 35 years, three provinces, and included many firsts.

In 2013, she was the first woman and openly gay person to take on the role of commanding officer for the RCMP in Alberta. It was a position she never dreamed of reaching, and it all began with a failed vision test.
