SaskPower employee Wayne Rempel volunteered over 80 hours for the Saskatchewan Pipe Band Association Inc. and received $500.00 from SaskPower to present to this organization. SaskPower's Employee Volunteer Program rewards employees volunteering in their communities by providing funds to the non-profit organizations they serve.
Thanks to Wayne for making your community a better place.
Bands can look forward to mini gatherings and Highland Games in Regina, Saskatoon and possibly other communities!
Soloists will need a grading card, and we encourage you to apply for yours now, and report online and other contest results.
Pipe Bands in Saskatchewan—A Proud History
Early settlers brought piping and Scottish cultural traditions to many communities in Saskatchewan, and local pipe bands are carrying on those traditions today.
The Highland bagpipes were heard at weddings, funerals, dances and parades across Saskatchewan in the early years, and then during World War I many of our Saskatchewan Regiments had pipe bands and pipers who inspired, consoled and entertained our soldiers. The South Saskatchewan Regiment, the 96th Highlanders, and the South Saskatchewan Light Horse all had great pipe bands.
Registration for new pipe band beginners is now! Contact your local pipe band .
