Thanks to Pam Ward for sending in this photo of the Thunder Bay Police Pipe Band with Jordan Staal and the Stanley Cup.
The Thunder Bay Police Pipe Band is a small band made up of mostly senior citizens who have a great time and get together for the love of the bagpipe. They are always looking for new members and have a few highschool students that play with them as well. They have very active summers playing at many city wide functions as well as a few out of town trips to the US. They are presently fund raising in hopes of going to Scotland Aug 2010.


We also received an article forwarded from Eileen Crawford about the Pipe Band of the 16th Battalion. The 16th Canadian Scottish Regiment fashioned a proud and enviable record from the trenches in WW1. William Macgregor who came to Canada with his family as a young lad and Champion Highland Dancer was a Piper in the 16th Canadian Scottish Regiment. He was Pipe Major of Regina Pipe Band and the Militia Pipe Band of the Canadian Military District No.12 Pipe Band following his return to Regina, SK after the War.

Here are some current reviews:

Ash Plugs
"I found they really help with cutoffs, as well as starting in, much easier to strike in as all the air stays in the bag till you hit it."

Gilmour Chanter Reeds
"I often use these reeds in my Sinclair chanter, and they are great. They have good life to them."
