Interprovincial Lodge Day
Charlottetown, PEI - 2016
3rd Annual Interprovincial Lodge Day
The 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
​
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 on this website 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.
