Our Roots

The Pipes and Drums of the Edmonton Police Service are proud representatives of the City of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They have a storied past dating back to 1914. The band provides music and goodwill to the citizens of Edmonton, surrounding communities and beyond. The band has travelled extensively throughout Western Canada and the United States. After trips to Juno Beach in France in 2003 and 2004, they traveled to Ireland in 2010 and then in May 2012 they enjoyed a trip to Hamilton, Bermuda. In May 2015 they traveled to Belgium and France to participate in the 100th Anniversary Celebrations for the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. They were part of the Barbados Celtic Festival in May 2017 and in September 2019 the band made their first trip to Scotland! In October of 2023 they made their second trip to Ortona, Italy.
