Richard, here's the scoop on our tartan:

"Tartan of The Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band

Instead of adopting an existing tartan the executive decided to create its own history by designing a tartan of its own. The tartan’s blue and red is representative of the police organizations in the Greater Victoria area. The white stripe is significant in that it denotes Queen Victoria’s colonial police force. The colonial police predated any other police organization on Vancouver Island."

Our stock of tartan is kept by Burnetts & Struth, who make up our kilts, plaids, etc. No fear of us going to the World's, though! We do have a cadre of players who went to the World's in the 1980's (IIRC) with the City of Victoria Pipe Band, which did very well. Then there are players like me.
