Three Grand Lodges, One Fine Evening
An historic table lodge that brought together three Grand Lodges was held on April 8th 2006 at Harmony Hall in Pierrefonds Quebec. The event was organized by the Grand Lodge of Quebec and the invited guests were from the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Ontario and Jurisdictions, and the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario. The assembled brethren spent an enjoyable evening in fraternal assembly, with great food and spirit. There were a number of very fine speeches and plenty of light moments along the way. A fine time was had by all.

Masonic "Brick" Discovered
Victoria Lodge No. 16 recently received a request for information from someone who had in their possession a Masonic "brick", which they described thusly:

The face contains several Masonic symbols, my great grandfather's name, and the words "Victoria Lodge No 16 Sherbrooke Canada". The back has a paper label which reads "Alexander Simpson raised 1877".

Shefford Lodge to Close
As you may, or may not know, Shefford Lodge No. 18 is proceeding harmoniously toward Amalgamation with Brome Lake Lodge No. 35 and will result in the Lodge going into "darkness" at their last scheduled Regular Communication on May 1, 2006.

While this process is naturally one of sadness, and will mark the end of a long and distinguished history of Freemasonry spanning 152 years in the Town of Waterloo, Shefford Lodge wishes to also make the occasion one of a "celebration" of her accomplishments and good deeds.
