Gordon Sinclair Memorial Fund

The Gordon Sinclair Memorial Fund is organized to provide continuing support to the Vancouver Police Pipe Band and to honour one of the Band's most respected members.  Through the fund, the Vancouver Police Pipe Band solicits assistance for special projects undertaken by the band.

Constable Gordon Sinclair, a member of the Vancouver Police Department and bandsman, was killed in the line of duty on December 7th, 1955. Gordon Sinclair was involved in the local pipe band and highland dancing community and was President of the BC Pipers Association for a number of years. An experienced piper, composer and leader, Gordon Sinclair was a popular member of the Vancouver highland arts community.   Through the kind permission of the Sinclair family - whose son Ian later rose to the rank of Inspector within the Vancouver Police Department and Pipe Major of the Vancouver Police Pipe Band - we are proud to honour his service to the city, department and band through this fund.

The Vancouver Police Pipe Band would like to acknowledge the generous support of the following organizations and individuals. With untold numbers of organizations soliciting support for very worthwhile causes, we recognize their donations could be placed elsewhere and are truly appreciative of their commitment to the Band and the Gordon Sinclair Memorial Fund.
