Welcoming Committee 2012 Grand Lodge Convention ,

Welcome Delegates! Hope for All who Toil 2 Delegates,

It is with great pride that I, as the General Vice President for the Canadian Territory, welcome you to my city, Toronto Ontario Canada for our 38th Grand Lodge Convention.

I am sure you will find that Toronto has much to offer. This is a vibrant and diverse city that brings together many cultural sights, flavours, sounds and events that I am certain you will find entertaining, educational and just plain fun.

We are in fact situated in the heart of the city surrounded by professional sporting events encompassing Major League Baseball, Basketball, Soccer and Hockey. Top level theatre productions just blocks away. There are parks and recreation including Toronto Island and many tourist attractions such as our infamous China Town, Little Italy and much, more.

For those of you so inclined, we are also renowned for a vibrant evening entertainment industry ready and able for those of you who are more inclined to dance the night away.

Our streets are safe and our citizens are friendly. Please have a look through the Welcoming committee’s booklet to familiarize yourself with all services and events available and please feel free to contact any members of our Host and/or Welcoming committee for any needs not already identified.

Welcome again and enjoy all that Toronto has to offer!

Fraternally,

Dave Ritchie
