Our History
Over 100 Years of Excellence
The Vancouver Police Pipe Band has been in continuous existence since 1914, making it the oldest non-military pipe band in British Columbia and one of the most senior police pipe bands in the world.
What began with a handful of pipers at the opening of a new police station has grown into a legendary institution - performing everywhere from local community events to the grounds of Buckingham Palace, carrying forward a tradition of musical excellence and public service.
