What it does — in its own words

Ongoing programs

The the organization has two pipe bands that compete at Scottish cultural music competitions throughout Canada during the summer months as well as performing in parades and concerts locally and internationally. During the off-season the competition bands build repertoire and take part in local performances and fundraisers. The organization also operates an entirely volunteer-run academy from September-May for children and adults interested in learning to play bagpipes and drums.

New programs

In 2024 through fundraising the organization was able to purchase new drums for one of its bands and hopes to do the same for the other in 2025. The organization plans to send two bands to compete at the North American Championships in Ontario in 2025 and is currently fundraising to allow both bands to compete at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow Scotland in 2026.
