Who are the Prince Albert Highland Pipes and Drums?

Our members include both women and men of nearly all ages. We come from Prince Albert, Shellbrook, Spruce Home, Duck Lake, Saskatoon, and other surrounding areas in Saskatchewan. We are also regularly joined by the finest pipers and drummers in the Battlefords, Meadow Lake, Saskatoon, Outlook, and Carrot River areas.

Our History

Prince Albert Pipe Band circa 1920

The Prince Albert Highlanders Pipes & Drums was formed in 1983 with a government grant and donation by the Prince Albert Optimist Club. Founding members of the band, Howard Finan, Scott Meekma, and Dave Monette created Saskatchewan's northern-most pipe band and obtained second hand highland regalia from a Calgary pipe band that was folding.

Since its formation, the P.A. Highlanders have played for audiences across Saskatchewan and Alberta. The band has also always welcomed visiting pipers and drummers into its ranks for practices, performances and parades.
