Brightening our Future by Preserving our Past

Traveling Gavel May 2026 [PDF]

Greetings brethren.

Greetings brethren. As I write this month’s message, I am hoping this the last taste of winter for this half of the year and the renewal of spring is at hand.

Bro. Keogan (DGM), MW. Bro. Elliott (GS) and I attended the annual All-Canada Conference in April. It was refreshing to hear right across the country for the first time in ages that they are starting to see growth and stability. This was the first time in my four years going to the conference where the brethren from coast to coast brought messages of hope and prosperity. We have heard and discussed how the craft is needed now more than ever, to which many jurisdictions are starting to see a gain over deaths and demits for the first time in nearly sixty years.

Our 120th annual communication is fast approaching, and I want to remind all the brethren that cutoff for hotel reservations is May 17th at the Grant Hall as well the cutoff for ticketed events for the communication is June 5th. A copy of the registration is on the back.

I am looking forward to the final two months of the term, with the completion of the visits to each of the forty- one lodges of our jurisdiction as well as attending our concordant bodies AGM’s and our sister jurisdictions communications.

If you are wanting an official visit, please contact the Grand Lodge office to make arrangements.
