Peel Regional Police Pipe Band
The Peel Regional Police Pipe Band which hales from Brampton Ontario, Canada, was formed in 1976 proudly representing the Peel Regional Police Service and Peel Region throughout the province of Ontario and beyond. The band wears the Red MacPherson tartan and a distinctive black and white diced Glengarry in keeping with long standing police and military pipe band traditions.
Currently under the leadership of Pipe Major John Cairns and Drum Sergeant Graham Brown, the band has 39 members who are honoured to be associated to the Peel Regional Police Service. The band performs regularly at police graduations, awards ceremonies and police memorial services at the Ontario Legislature (Queens Park) and on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
In 2010 the band will be wearing a memorial pin honouring Cst. James “Artem” Ochakovsky, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this year.
Known primarily as a grade 1 competition band, they compete annually on the Ontario contest circuit as well as at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow Scotland. The band is pleased to appear at Piping Live thanks to the ongoing support of the Peel Regional Police Service and Chief of Police H.M. (Mike) Metcalf.
