From now through December 31, officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police will be stationed at The Pond at Bryant Park every Monday to meet and greet the public and celebrate Canadian activities in the park. Visitors can even take home a free keepsake photo with their new Mountie friends in front of the Holiday Tree, all compliments of the Canadian Tourism Commission."

The above message was taken from the New York City Parks and Recreation Site.
