Welcome to the BCr
The British Columbia Regiment Irish Pipes and Drums were formed in 1992. Formerly, the group existed as the Irish Fusiliers Pipe Band of the Irish Fusiliers of Canada Reserve Regiment based at the Stanley Park Armoury of Vancouver. The Regiment and Pipe Band were disbanded in 1964 after the destruction of the Armoury by fire 3 years previous.
In June 2002, the Irish Fusiliers of Canada and the British Columbia Regiment were formally merged to preserve the Battle Honours and name of the Irish Fusiliers. With the merger, the BCR Irish Pipes and Drums have become a visible symbol of the Irish heritage of these two outstanding regiments.
The British Columbia Regiment Irish Pipes and Drums are one of five serving Irish regimental pipe bands in the world and appear under the direction of Pipe Major, Jordan Seguin, and by the kind permission of Lt. Col. Kadanoff. The band, which is an all-volunteer band made up of civilian women, men and youth of diverse ethnic origins is based out of the Beatty Street Drill Hall in Vancouver. The 22-member band practices both at Templeton High School in East Vancouver and at Legion #148 in North Burnaby.
The members of the band finance its operation through many fundraising events and the kind donations of supporters. The band plays at various civic functions, charitable events, parades, and military functions, primarily in the Metro Vancouver Area.
