Meeting dates and recent events: Our next regular meeting will be held in Whitby on November 29th, at which Master-elect, RW BRo Maher Eid, will be installed and his officers will be invested. A week prior, we will hold an emergent meeting in Napier to celebrate along with our Grand Master the anniversary of Ionic Lodge 328, which was established in 1875. The presentation of their history will be provided by VW Bro Marshall Kern, a member of The Heritage Lodge and past Grand Historian.
On September 27, in Cambridge, we held our annual elections, and heard several reports: one from VW Bro Bill Willis on the next steps that need to be taken to continue to deliver excellent experiences for visitors to our lodge at The Village at Black Creek, and another from RW Bro Stephen Magwood regarding the Grand Master Portraits project, which has certainly picked up steam following the display of PGM Weller at our booth at Grand Lodge Communication this past July. We also balloted on 5 new members.
The pre-summer regular meeting was held on May 31st (Whitby) and featured a well researched and informative powerpoint entitled “William G. Davis, Freemason”, which was presented by RW Bro Robert Kliaman. The presentation followed the Masonic career of the Premier of Ontario, as well as his father, and highlighted the numerous members of Provincial Parliament who attended and participated in his various degrees at Flower City Lodge 689 in Brampton.
Prior, was the presentation by WBro Istvan Horvath (March 29, 2025), regarding the Forget Me Not pin and its evolution from Germany before WW2, held in Hamilton, hosted by Electric Valley 100. It was preceded by a CoGP meeting at 11am, followed by lunch held at noon.
At the meeting in May, several topics were discussed, including an update from RWBro Stephen Magwood who is chairing the ad hoc History Committee to (a) begin to research options regarding the creation of a Masonic Museum, (b) address the process to acquire, curate and display Masonic artefacts, and (c) work with our Regional Representatives to ascertain whether we can locate and contact additional “pioneer villages” in this province and expand our Black Creek initiative.
In Cambridge, RW Bro Abe Washington again reminded members that our meetings are open to all Masons, and that we continue to seek lodges celebrating anniversaries and involve The Heritage Lodge in the years ahead across our Grand Jurisdiction, including those who are assisting to promote our public presence and getting involved in a local Open House held at their lodge.
