Most marching bands in Canada are organized by the Canadian Band Association or by Canadian universities:

*[[Royal Military College of Canada Bands]]
*[[Simon Fraser University Pipe Band]] 
*[[Western Mustang Band]] 
*{{Not a typo|[[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]]}}

Although many bands have still retained the British tradition for marching bands, most have also adopted the style used by their American counterparts. [[Canadian military bands]] are often associated with civilian marching bands. Many of the civilian marching bands that exist today, such as the [[Oshawa Civic Band]],<ref>{{cite web | title=Music in Oshawa | website=The Canadian Encyclopedia | date=2006-02-08 | url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca:443/en/article/oshawa-ont-emc }}</ref> The Concert Band of [[Cobourg]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.theconcertbandofcobourg.com/?page_id=997|title=A Brief History of the Band &#124; The Concert Band of Cobourg}}</ref> and the [[Toronto Signals Band]], have military roots and were formerly Canadian Army bands. In the case of the aforementioned bands, their lineage is shared with the bands of [[The Ontario Regiment]], the 6th Northumberland Militia and the 2nd Armoured Divisional Signals Regiment respectively. In the early to mid-20th century, the [[Canadian Forces]] maintained drum and bugle corps, which were similar in instrumentation and organization to civilian marching bands.<ref>{{cite book |chapter-url=http://www.dcxmuseum.org/assets/15%20-%20Canadian%20Military%20Drum%20and%20Bugle%20Corps.pdf|editor-last=Vickers | editor-first=Steve | title=A history of drum & bugle corps | publisher=Sights & Sounds, Inc. | publication-place=Madison, WI | year=2002 | oclc=79034180 |chapter=Canadian military drum and bugle corps
