Ontario's First Ismaili Pipe Band Marches | Toronto News

Ontario’s first Ismaili pipe band is making waves at the Canadian National Exhibition’s Warriors’ Day Parade, blending Scottish bagpipes with South Asian melodies in a powerful cultural fusion. Starting with just 11 members in 2019, the Southwest Ontario Ismaili Pipe Band now boasts over 30 musicians and a youth program engaging 300+ young players across the GTA. For teens like Ammaar Jiwan and Rayyan Ali, it’s about heart, community, and brotherhood. Rehearsing twice weekly for their biggest performance yet, they’ll march alongside nearly 90 bands and honor veterans with Royal Canadian Legion Branch 527 — bringing their unique sound to a national stage with pride and purpose.
