Welcome

Welcome to the Western District web site. Masonry has been part of northwestern Ontario since 1882, and is still a vital part of the communities between the Great Lakes and the Manitoba border. There are 10 Masonic Lodges in nine communities in the District, and their meeting dates and times are recorded in the “About the District” link. All regular Masons are welcome to attend these Lodge meetings.

I hope you find this site interesting and informative. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about Masonry in general, or about how to become part of this great fraternal organization.
