Recent EventsSaturday, June 19, 2010 -- Open Air Lodge at the top of Owl's Head Mountain
The excursion to Owl's Head near Stansted, QC, was a great success with 30 Master Masons on board our bus to witness an open-air Third Degree as emulated by Golden Rule Lodge practicing York Rite ritual under the Grand Lodge of Quebec. The ride on the chair lift to the summit was spectacular, and the hike to the natural lodge room rigourous! The ritual varies from that practiced in Ontario and most parts of Quebec, and displays many Royal Arch elements, the whole being familiar to any Royal Arch Mason. It is yet to be confirmed, but the Lodge will be held again next year, tentatively June 18, 2011. This site will update the detail as it is confirmed.

The first regular convocation of the new year (September 16/09) was a Chapter of Instruction featuring the details of how the Chapter Room is set up and the purpose behind each item in the room. This was well received by our three recently Exalted members who have accepted officer positions in the Chapter and are anxious to learn as much about Capitular Masonry as they can possibly absorb. Afterwards, several of the members ajorned to the Walkley Bowling Centre for a period of fellowship while we re-freshed our aching memories of the 5-pin bowling of our youth....
At the regular convocation of March 18, 2009, the Council for the ensuing year was installed and Officers invested (see News).
