The Delta Police Pipe Band was formed in 1971 by members of the Delta Police Department in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. Since the Band’s inception, it has grown to its present strength of 30 pipers and 20 drummers. The Band is currently under the direction of Pipe Major Corey Tillyer and Drum Major Moe Coll. The band uniform is complemented by the Ancient Smith Tartan, worn in honour of the Band’s co-founder, the late Chief Constable M.W. Smith. The band proudly represents the Delta Police Department and the City of Delta, at home and around the world.

Today the Delta Police Pipe Band celebrated the life of Randall St. Goddard. Randall’s family, friends and band members gathered to hear about Randall’s storied life and the important role he played in fundraising and bringing groups together.
Randall’s roots with the DPPB go back to attending many Burns dinners in the 80’s as his Dad, Ed St. Godard, played in our tenor section. Through the 1990’s with Randall’s assistance, the band gained access to casino/gaming which supported the band’s uniform and equipment needs.
As one of our Auxiliary Members, Randall continued as part of the band’s fundraising team and sat on many of our planning committees including the band’s recent trip to Belfast, Ireland in 2023.
Thank you and Sláinte Randall, you will be missed.
