The RCMP HQ was originally built to be a seminary. The cornerstone was laid in 1949 and the RCMP took possession in 1953. I believe the building was too expensive for the Catholic diocese. Another seminary opened on Carson Road in 1955 and the main seminary opened in 1957 on Kilborn Avenue near Bank
