3RD ANNUAL INTERPROVINCIAL LODGE DAY
Masonic Temple in Charlottetown, PEI was the
location of this year’s 3rd Annual Interprovincial
Lodge Day. The weather turned out to give us a
beautiful sunny day with a few clouds and cool fall
temperatures. The best weather yet for these
gatherings. The Masonic Temple was filled to
capacity with 111 brothers attending from the
provinces of PEI, NB and NS. As well, we were
very pleased to have one visitor from the province
of British Columbia!
The lodge officers for the day were made up of
Past Grand Masters of PEI. The WM was MW
Bro. Donald Leary. He opened the lodge on the
3rd Degree and then lowered it to the 1st Degree
so any Entered Apprentices and Fellowcraft who
wished could join us for the afternoon.
The three provinces were represented as
follows:
Presiding Grand Master of Nova Scotia Most
Worshipful, Grand Master: MWBro. George
O’Leary
Junior Grand Warden of New Brunswick RW
Bro. Thomas Borthwick (The GM had another
committment.)
Presiding Grand Master of Prince Edward Island
Most Worshipful, Grand Master MWBro. Edward
MacLaren.
It was Nova Scotia’s turn to provide the
educational component for the meeting. R.W.Bro.
Graham Staffenburg, Grand Lecturer, gave a
presentation on the Entered Apprentice &see
attached).
At the end of the session a group photo of
nearly all the brothers in attendance was taken by
W Bro. Quentin Hardy, WM of Wentworth Lodge
#108 in NS. Many of the photos of the day you
will see in this article were also taken by W Bro.
Hardy. The rest were taken by the secretary of
Alexandra Lodge #87 in Amherst, NS, VW Bro.
Michael Gaul.
