About

The Pipers' and Pipe Band Society of Ontario (PPBSO) is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and developing piping and drumming in Ontario since 1947.

 

As one of Canada's seven Pipe Band Associations and an affiliate of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association (RSPBA), the PPBSO extends a formal, accredited system of competition rules with a panel of judges presiding over solo and band contests. These include notable events like the North American, Canadian, and Ontario Pipe Band Championships.

 

The PPBSO has four branches representing Niagara/Hamilton, Ottawa, Toronto, and Western Ontario, and actively supports regional events, including prestigious competitions like The George Sherriff Invitational, The Livingstone Invitational, The Agnew-Harrison Invitational, and The Glengarry Cup Invitational.

 

Beyond competition, the Society provides financial support to members and bands for clinics, workshops, and other initiatives that sustain the culture of Highland piping and drumming.

 

Individual membership is open to anyone interested in advancing these rich traditions and contributing to a vibrant, evolving community across the province. Individual membership is available here.​
