78th Fraser Highlanders win Georgetown

Georgetown, Ontario – June 9, 2018 – The Pipers & Pipe Band Society of Ontario’s outdoor circuit began with the Georgetown Highland Games in near-perfect conditions: warm, overcast, slightly humid, and no wind. In a two-band Grade 1 contest, the 78th Fraser Highlanders came out on top on ensemble preference, and the Peel Regional Police took the Grade 2 competition against two others. Ian K. MacDonald was the aggregate winner in the Professional Solo Piping. The competition is the first of eight in Ontario over the summer.
