Two performances were presented at Ottawa on May 24, 1920 and in Brockville on July 1. 1920.  For the next ten years both “N” Division and “Depot” Division in Regina performed every almost every year in their respective regions.  In the 1930's five performance were organized in and shown in Vancouver, B.C. (E Division).
In the 1930's, the Ride began performing outside of Canada. It traveled to England in 1930 to  the Wembley Exhibition in London, and in 1934 to the US for performances in New York City (“N” Division) and Portland, Oregon (“E” Division).
