February 11 is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. To commemorate, we’d like to share the story of one of the most influential women in the RCMP’s history: Dr. Frances Gertrude McGill.

Dr. McGill moved to Saskatchewan after graduating from the University of Manitoba. McGill became the province’s bacteriologist in 1918, pathologist in 1920, and director of the province’s pathology laboratory in 1922. McGill helped investigate suspicious deaths, working closely with the RCMP. She travelled frequently, up to 43 times a year, often to remote crime scenes requiring travel by float plane, snowmobile, or even dog sled. She was so proficient that the RCMP made it a policy to call upon her immediately whenever foul play was suspected; this earned her a nickname: “The Sherlock Holmes of Saskatchewan.”

McGill was instrumental in founding the RCMP’s first official forensic laboratory, volunteering hundreds of hours doing so. In 1943, McGill was appointed as director of the laboratory, serving until her retirement in 1946. The same year, McGill became the first woman to be appointed Honorary Surgeon to the RCMP.

Dr. McGill’s contributions were pivotal in the furthering of not only the field of forensic pathology, but also in breaking down barriers for women in science and policing. Fully deserving of her title, Dr. McGill truly was the “Sherlock Holmes of Saskatchewan.”
