Innisfil Pipes and Drums Band is a charitable organization based in Newmarket, Ontario, classified by the CRA under education in the arts. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $3,240 in revenue and $5,312 in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.

In its own words
We continue to provide the public with exposure to the music of a Scottish Pipe and Drum Band by participating in community events and parades. The band also promotes Scottish heritage by offering the community with free music lessons. During 1993 the band has been able to play in parades and concerts in the community with all restrictions fully lifted.
