Also, the inaugural presentation of the new Pipe Major Malcolm Nicholson C.M. shield for best Juvenile band in Grade 4 or 5 was made by Malcolm’s grand-daughter Elouise Roane. The shield is to recognize the anniversary of Malcolm Nicholson’s investiture on April 19, 1978 as a Member of the Order of Canada, the only piper in the history of the award to be recognized exclusively for services to piping.
