In the current 'Raiding the Regiment' thread, about the idea of obtaining government surplus kilts, I suggested police pipe bands as a possible source. I looked into it myself and apparently they mostly individually buy their own outfits, but that led to a quick survey of police pipe bands in Canada and I turned up the following websites, in no particular order- and which also is by no means exhaustive.

(Not all links are home pages, some of go to a specific page of kilt interest, on the larger sites).

I don't know if Canada is unusually rich in police pipe bands, but they are certainly keep the kilted tradition alive here in the Frozen North. Nothing is better, surely, than a pipe band in a city parade.
