Peel Regional Police Pipe Band


The Peel Regional Police Pipe Band was formed in 1976, and 49th year.

Since Pipe Major John Cairns took leadership in 2008, the Peel Regional Police Pipe Band has achieved remarkable success on both national and international stages. Under his direction, the band has earned:

  • 8 North American Championships
  • 10 Pipers' and Pipe Band Society of Ontario (PPBSO) Champion Supreme Awards

In 2019, the band reached a significant milestone, placing 5th at the World Pipe Band Championships—a testament to the dedication and excellence of its members.

Recognizing the importance of nurturing future talent, the organization launched a Developmental Program in 2018, expanding from a single competitive band into a comprehensive organization with multiple competitive levels (Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5), as well as a robust teaching program. Today, the band is home to nearly 100 members, most of whom are dedicated volunteers traveling an average of 90 minutes each way to attend weekly practices from across Ontario.

The Peel Regional Police Pipe Band proudly serves as musical ambassadors for the Peel Regional Police, participating annually in:

  • Recruit graduation ceremonies
  • Awards and promotion ceremonies
  • Community outreach events
  • The Ontario Police Memorial at Queen’s Park
  • The National Peace Officers’ Memorial on Parliament Hill in Ottawa

The continued success and community presence of the band is made possible through the unwavering support of the Peel Regional Police and Chief Nishan Duraiappah.
