    The Maple Leaf tartan is worn by the Pipes and Drums of the Royal Canadian Regiment:

    I don't believe the tartan was developed by them, nor is it of course exclusive to them. I would wager that the 'Ontario School' thing comes from the fact that one or more high schools have adopted it for use in their school uniforms. Catholic high schools of course normally have their girls in kilt skirts (not men's kilts, kilt skirts).

    Edit: took out Maple Leaf Kirkin' item to start a new thread.
