Grand Council, Cryptic Rite Masons Of Western Canada 2019 Grand Assembly

Opening Remarks: - Most Illustrious Companion Tetzloff, Grand Council Officers, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Companions:

As is tradition at the Annual Grand Council Assembly, we will now acknowledge and remember those of our Companions who have laid down their working tools since our last assembly. These Companions will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved them, and by all their Companions in Cryptic Rite Masonry. While this occasion certainly brings to mind the uncertainty of human life and more forcibly the certainty of death, it is also a time to reflect on the lessons of our Masonic order which teach us to regard death as the open door through which we pass from earthly labours to a reunion with the Companions of our former toils. This message recurs in the first of the Cryptic Degrees thus - with this light of faith beaming upon me – O’ Death where is thy sting? O’ Grave where is thy victory? My hope rests in the higher Lodge to which I am advancing. With this in mind – Let us Pray

Prayer: - S.A. of the U, we pray with those who mourn, that they may know the consolation of your love and, that through our faith toward you, they and we may hereafter enter into your presence and be numbered with those who serve you. AMEN

Hymn – “Near My God to Thee”

Laying of the Roses

After the reading of the names of the departed a rose will be placed on the Alter in accordance with the District designation by the appropriate Grand Inspector General. Grand Recorder will read out the names of those who have passed to the Grand Council Above.

FINAL TRIBUTE: They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning – WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Prayer of Remembrance: - O God of many names and Supreme Architect of the Universe, today we remember our Companions who have departed this life into a life of Higher Service. Into your hands, merciful God, we commend these your servants. We most earnestly beseech Thee to continue to give them peace and rest in that house not made with hands, Eternal in the Heavens. AMEN

Moment of Silence

Scripture Reading – John: 14 1-6

1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2. In my Father’s house are many are mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I would go to prepare a place for you.

3. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

12

5. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6. Jesus saith unto to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Let us Pray: Lord’s Prayer: Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory, for ever and ever. AMEN

Hymn – “How Great Thou Art”

Final Prayer: The Lord shall preserve Thy going out and Thy coming in, from this time forth, forevermore. Glory be to God. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, World without end. AMEN

Benediction: “The Lord bless thee and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, And be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, And give thee Peace.” AMEN

Closing Thoughts: Ladies and Companions

As we are come to the end of this Memorial service, I leave you with a quote from the Indian Poet, Rabindranath Tagore which has brought me much comfort on occasions such as this: -

DEATH IS NOT EXTINGUISHING THE LIGHT; IT IS ONLY PUTTING OUT THE LAMP BECAUSE THE DAWN HAS COME.

Go in Peace and cherish the memories of those who paved the path for us.

MIC Tetzloff – Charitable foundation was explained as to its purpose.

Grand Master’s Address 2019

Most Illustrious Companions, Officers, Members and Visitors to the Grand Council of Cryptic Rite Masons of Western Canada, Royal and Select Masters, I extend to all of you, a warm and hearty welcome to our 81st Annual Grand Assembly of the Grand Council, held once again in the quaint and rapidly expanding Town of Camrose, Alberta.

It is my pleasure and privilege to have you with us and I trust that you will enjoy our proceedings as they roll out today. The Officers and member of this Grand Council are well chosen and established in their respective rolls in office and I thank them for their participation in making this a successful Assembly at the end of the day.

NECROLOGY

This year we must once again take a few moments to remember those of our jurisdiction who passed to the care of the Supreme Architect of the Universe. To the loved one of our departed Companions, we extend our heartfelt sympathy as we share in their loss and I thank our Chaplain, VI Companions Brian Hall for conducting an excellent Memorial Serve as a tribute to their memory.

VISITATIONS TO COUNCILS (Schedule attached)

16

I am pleased to report that I was able to official visit all Councils this year. In general, I found the majority of our Councils to be viable in varying degrees. Some greater and some to a less extent. However, on balance I witnessed profound faith, enthusiasm and confidence in each and every Council, I visited, which is very promising for the future. The combined installation meeting between Portage and Brandon Councils was well done, and the experiment of regular joint meetings between these tow Councils has proven to be successful from all accounts.

As stated by previous Grand Masters, I must extend my appreciation to those Councils on the BC Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and the BC Interior Districts for making it possible for me to visit combined Council meetings. Due to the complexity of venues, in BC, their thoughtfulness made for considerable saving in time, and expense which was greatly appreciated by myself and I am sure all previous Grand Masters during their terms of office.

All Council meetings were conducted in a very efficient manner and the installation and Degree work was well done. At all visitations I was received with the honour and dignity consistent with the Office. Having had the good fortune of visiting each venue a time before during my term of office as the Supreme Grand Master of the Sovereign Great Priory of Canada, it was like a “going home experience” as I had the good fortune of re-acquainting myself with Companions I hadn’t seen for awhile. Each visitation was very memorable and the generosity, hospitality and brotherhood of all Companions was outstanding and greatly appreciated.

I wish to offer a special thanks to the Grand Inspectors Generals, Thrice Illustrious Masters and Recorders for their efforts in arranging and participating in my visitations. Their support, assistance and efficiency were outstanding throughout my term of office.

I presented an Educational paper at each of my visits and provided each Council with a brief outline and update on the Cryptic Rite Charitable Foundation one of our proudest and worthwhile Enterprises. TO that end there were considerable financial contributions presented to me in favour of the Foundation, which were gratefully received and forwarded to the Foundation Secretary.

A highlight of my year was visit to Greece, in response to an in visitation from the Grand Council of Royal & Select Masters of Greece in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the foundation of its first Council.

My wife Anita and I arrived in Athens on Friday Oct 19th and were made welcome by the Grand Master at a special Grand Assembly. On October 20th I attended the Special Grand Assembly at the Yacht Club of Greece which was an outstanding experience. There were six Grand Masters present representing England, Wales, Ireland, Asia, Germany and Canada. We were officially paraded into the Council and taken to the east where we were met and welcomed by the Grand Master. We were seated in the East and each given an opportunity to bring greetings from our respective countries. We were then treated to an interesting presentation of the history of the Grand Council of Greece from its inception to the present.

In the evening we attended the banquet at the Yacht Club attended by hundreds including ladies. All visiting Grand Masters and wives were seated at the Grand Master’s table. To our pleasant surprise, my wife Anita was given the honour of responding to the toast to the ladies, which did in fine fashion and which was well received.

VISITATIONS TO OTHER GRAND BODIES

During the year I received invitations from the following Grand Bodies.

• Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Manitoba 17

• Supreme Grand Council Eastern Jurisdictions of Canada R & SM (Truro) • Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta • Grand Imperial Conclave of Canada • Grand Great Priory of Canada • Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of British Columbia & Yukon

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend to all of them due to a series of fraternal conflicts, however, I am thankful to the Grand Inspector Generals and the Deputy Grand Master, all of whom acted as proxies on my behalf.

Throughout my year, I attended and took active part in all York Rite Chapters in my District in between my travels in Western Canada. On August 1st, I travelled to Oakbrook Illinois, USA to attend the Annual Assembly of the York Rite Sovereign College of North America where I was installed as the Deputy Grand Governor of Alberta.

On August 19th, I travelled to Indianapolis, Indiana, USA to attend the 67th Triennial Encampment of Knights Templar, USA as an honourary Grand Master of the Grand Encampment. TO my pleasant surprise I was awarded to USA “Knight Grand Cross of the Temple (GCT), which was special honour and greatly appreciated.

TO OUR DISTINGUISHED GUESTS AND VISITING BRETHREN;

Companions it is indeed a pleasure to have you with us. You add a positive dimension to our proceedings and we hope your stay with us will be pleasurable and your return home will be with safe travel with fond memories of this weekend.

TO THE MOST ILL. PAST GRAND MASTERS

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our Order and for your valuable help and advice over the past year.

TO OUR GRAND INSPECTOR GENERALS:

Thank you one and all for representing the Grand Council and myself in a most exemplary manner. The efforts you made in accompanying me on my official visits in your respective Districts was greatly appreciated.

TO OUR GRAND RECORDER RIC JERRY W. KOPP AND GRAND TREASURER MIC DONALD RUSSELL;

It’s comforting to know that our administration and finances are in good hands and on sound footing. It is also worthy of note that our Grand Recorder has graciously undertaken the additional office of Grand Scribe “E” Pro Tem of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta, following the crisis created by the untimely death of the Grand Scribe “E”, MEC Marvyn Rogers. He is to be congratulated for this undertaking without hesitation at a dire time of need, and his accomplishments of the requirements of each of these two demanding offices.

TO THE GRAND OFFICERS, GRAND REPRESENTATIVES, CHAIRMEN OF VARIOUS COMMITTEES, OFFICERS ELECTED AND APPOINTED TO THE GRAND COUNCILS:

Thank you for your dedication and service to this Grand Body. You are the grease that turns the wheel in our Grand Councils, Ito repeat a well-worn metaphor.

TO THE COUNCIL REECORDERS:

18

The general health and welfare of our Councils are measured in large part by the administration and dedication of our Council Recorders. They are by and large unsung heroes who work diligently in close association with the Grand Council in maintaining the requirements of our Constitution and the well being our respective Districts.

IN CONCLUSION:

I want to offer a special thanks to my Companions of Zohar Council No. 4 in Edmonton for your support and understanding during my absence from meetings and to those of you now acting as my officers, for accepting your appointments without hesitation.

Special thanks to all my Companions who have collectively allowed me the distinct honour and privilege to serve in this important office. My three years of service leading up to and culminating as the Grand Master has been a most enjoyable experience and distinctly different than any of the other offices in which I have served. My love of Cryptic Rite Masonry has been enhanced and my knowledge and experience increased considerably. I’m very proud that I had the good fortune to add yet another special dimension to my Masonic career.

To my wife Anita, thank you for your constant support, love and stalwart presence in my life. My love for you knows no bounds.

Companions, our future is promising “Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow – yesterday’s gone”

Here are some closing thoughts to live by:

WORK – Like you don’t need the money.

LOVE – Like nobody has ever hurt you.

DANCE – Like nobody is watching.

SING – Like nobody is listening.

LIVE – As if this was Paradise on earth.

Your Grand Inspector General for Manitoba is pleased to report that there have been Official Visits to all three Manitoba Councils during 2018 - 2019; Cyrus Council in Winnipeg, Brandon Council in Brandon and Portage Council in Portage la Prairie.

All Manitoba Councils were proficient in opening and proceeded well with their work, respectively. As is common to Manitoba Masonry, fraternal and social companionship is alive and active.

Numbers, as with the rest of the various Masonic bodies, are a bit light, but there are no concerns with procedures or finances and all Manitoba Councils appear stable.

There has been a modest increase in overall membership during the past year.

20

The last meeting of Portage Council was a joint meeting of both the Brandon and Portage Councils in Brandon. These Councils have been experimenting with holding some of their regular Council meetings using this combined format.

Another combined meeting was held in Portage la Prairie, and, again both the Portage and Brandon Councils jointly participated.

The combined meetings appear to create participation that is more fulsome and supports interest in Cryptic Rite Masonry and the Concordant Bodies in general. I commend these Councils for taking the initiative to experiment with a different format.

As with all members of the York Rite Bodies in Manitoba, the members of all Cryptic Councils in Manitoba are upholding the best examples of men and Masons. As a whole, the York Rite Bodies have considerable interchange among the members and we are actively pursuing, through accepted and proper Masonic means, growth of the membership of all York Rite Bodies, and as noted, there have been some modest gains in membership in the Cryptic Rite.

RIC Jack Fryatt GIG Manitoba District 2. Saskatchewan District – RIC Alan Goode

There are only 2 Councils in Saskatchewan, Sask. Council # 6 in Regina and Zophiel Council # 13 in Saskatoon.

Saskatchewan Council # 6 has 33 companions of which 3 are Life Members. Their average attendance in 2018 was 15.

During the year they received 4 candidates for their own Council and assisted Zophiel Council by conducting the Select master Degree for one of their members.

The degree work was well done, ritual books were in evidence but very little use was made of them.

On Nov 29th 2018 they received the Grand Master Most Illustrious Companion Gerry Tetzloff on his Official Visit, accompanied by RIC Jerry Kopp – Grand Recorder, and presented him with a cheque towards his charity The Cryptic Rite Charitable Foundation.

This Council keeps excellent records, it is well funded and its reports are submitted in a timely fashion.

Zophiel Council # 13 has 35 companions and an average attendance in 2018 of 14.

Their previous Recorder was unable to fulfill his duties which resulted in the accounting and secretarial work of the Council falling behind.

I am pleased to report that VIC Robert Turczyn has accepted the position of Recorder after having spent a period of being their temporary Recorder.

21

On December 5th 2018 MIC Robert Turner and I visited, where they received the Grand Master Most Illustrious Companion Gerry Tetzloff on his Official Visit.

This Council has had more than its fair share of problems in recent years however, they have 3 skilled and enthusiastic Principal Officers plus a small but dedicated group of experienced companions who are working to solve those problems.

New Bylaws have been drafted/submitted and approved by Grand Council on Sept 12 2018.

Accounts and dues are now being handled properly and the signs of improvement are obvious with 4 new candidates in 2018.

I was pleased to be able to assist in their Select Master Degree, which despite 8 of their degree team being unable to attend because of the terrible weather, they still ‘got the job done’ – well done Zophiel Council.

Respectfully submitted, Alan Goode GIG SK 2018 - 2019

3. Alberta District – RIC David Boone

I would like to thank MIC Gerry Tetzloff and the companions of the Alberta Councils for allowing me the honour of serving as Grand Inspector General for the 2018/19 term. It was an enlightening and rewarding experience. I was able to complete one official visit and one installation visit to each Council during my term plus a fraternal visit to observe degrees. I was also able to accompany MIC Tetzloff to all of his official visits in the District. At each occasion I was received warmly by the Companions.

I am pleased to report that all three Councils in Alberta are active, adding new members in all cases. Each are performing the degrees in a timely fashion. The reading of ritual is present but an effort is made to deliver as much of the work from memory as possible.

The Drama is not presented in many cases but an effort is in place to remedy that, as much as possible.

Cryptic Rite Education is not presented often. The pressure to deliver all the degrees with a limited number of meetings gets in the way. However, an effort to fit in some education, especially related to recent degrees, would be of benefit.

Zadok Council #3

This is a large urban Council with well-kept books and records, a good financial base with a current audit and notices distributed by both email and post. Good average attendance. One meeting canceled due to unavailability of sufficient members to form degree team. Much of the work is read. Most lectures delivered from memory. Only partial drama delivered for degree work. The Council seems to have some gaps in communication in organizing degrees and the Installation. The new officers are committed to remedy that.

Zohar Council #4

22

This is also a large urban Council with well-kept books, a good financial base with a current audit and notices distributed by both email and post. Ritual work observed as being done well with some reading occurring and good average attendance. All degree work is done with full drama.

Alberta Council #5

This is a smaller urban Council with well-kept books and records, a good financial base with a current audit and notices distributed by both email and post. Ritual work observed as being done well; some reading occurring and good average attendance for their size.

The District meeting, hosted by Alberta Council saw IC Brant Irwin elected as GIG elect and IC Kyle Burns appointed as Grand Steward for the 2019/20 term.

One of the highlights of the year for me was attending the installation of officers of Zohar Council. The work was all done from memory in exemplary fashion. It made for a very impressive ceremony.

Finally, I’d like to thank our Grand Steward, VIC Lawrence Anderson, for accompanying me on most visits and adding his observations to our reports. His expertise was invaluable. It was also very enjoyable to be accompanied by a number of current and past Grand Council Officers at every visit.

Respectfully submitted David Boone, GIG Alberta District.

4. BC Interior & Kootenay District – RIC Fred Maides

This District was pleased to receive the Grand Master – MIC Gerry Tetzloff and the Grand Recorder – RIC Jerry W. Kopp at our joint meeting held at Revelstoke. This joint meeting just started a couple years ago with Zenith Council #16 and Cascade Council #18 and we certainly hope that this tradition can continue and Revelstoke appears to be central point between the two.

Zenith Council #16

Zenith Council meets in Kamloops and many of the Companions live an hour or more away. They have members who live in Vernon, West Kelowna, Kelowna, Prince George, Quesnel, Enderby and elsewhere with substantial travel. Their Companions are to be commented for their commitment. Their membership stands at 35 and their Royal Ark Mariner is 28 Brethren. Their work is average to above average and we have no concerns. Their administration is under the direction of RIC Ken McKenzie who is very dedicated.

Cascade Council #18

This Council is very small in numbers and it should be noted that none of Council Companions live in Creston, BC, but it remains to be a central gathering point. Companions travel two to three hours to get to a meeting and for this reason it is unreasonable for the Companions to attend a practice of any kind. Despite the noted shortcomings they work hard at giving a quality product. Just recently they accepted a candidate who lives in Rossland, BC. Their Council Recorder lives in

23

Invermere, BC which is a fair travel distance and he could be considered the back-bone to the Council.

5. BC Lower Mainland District – RIC Neil Marsh

The Councils within this District are well run with good leadership. The main concern is, that there is lack of healthy attendance. Each of Councils are maintaining their status quo with a total of 6 Companions added to the District and the loss of 5 Companions for a total gain of One. A visit was made to each of the Councils on an official capacity with additional fraternal visits and each the GIG was treated the total respect shown to that office.

This District hosted the Grand Master MIC Gerald Tetzloff on official visit. The three Councils combined their meetings into one to accomplish this fraternal visit. The Grand Master’s visit greatly appreciated and he was given all the courtesies of that important office.

It was indeed a great pleasure to serve this District as their Grand Inspector General and enjoyed every moment.

VIC George Porter of Zaphon Council #8 was elected as the next Grand Inspector General for the BC Lower Mainland and VIC John Young of Zaphon Council #8 is the Grand Stewart.

6. BC Vancouver Island District – RIC Harold Hayes

It has been my privilege and pleasure to serve as Grand Inspector General for the Vancouver Island District. I take this opportunity to thank my Grand Steward, V. Ill. Comp. Rick Sheldon, for his continued support and involvement in the visitations and installations. A great travelling Companion.

Our District is comprised of three Councils, Alpha, Acme and Adoniram. They being located far enough apart as to not encroach on each other, but close enough to enjoy fraternal visits with each.

Alpha Council No.11

This Council, at present, has 30 members, with meeting attendance averaging about 13. On my Official Visit, the review of the Porch Book, as well as the Treasurer’s Ledger, and the files and reports of the Recorder, were found to be in good order, as is the Council itself. They are financially stable. With some minor exceptions, the members perform their ritual well, in opening and closing as well as the Degree presentations. They currently have two candidates who will soon receive the Royal Master degree. In addition, they have a member ready to be Elevated as a Royal Ark Mariner.

Acme Council No.14.

During my official review of their various journals and records, those of the Treasurer and Recorder are up to date and in good order and condition. As well, the Council has a good financial base. Their membership is currently 24 members, with attendance averaging at 10 or so. Occasionally they encountered circumstances where they did not have a quorum to hold a meeting. They have now revised their By-laws, modifying their meeting schedule. With the new by-laws, approved by Grand Council, they changed from 10 meetings a year to 6, which still includes the required 24

number of meetings for their Royal Ark Mariners Lodge. These changes, with fewer meetings, hopefully will encourage better attendance, good meeting content, with planning and preparation and more importantly, attracting new members.

Adoniram Council No.15

This Council has suffered some recent setbacks. With a membership of 11 at the beginning of the year, they lost two valuable members from key positions. I found their books in some disarray as their Treasurer passed away unexpectedly and their Recorder left without giving notice. It took some time to round up the pertinent records for each Position, and now the Council members have worked on organizing the books and the Council. Their Election of Officers has shown some resolution to their earlier problems.

On a recent visit, I enjoyed their presentation of the Royal Ark Mariners Ceremony of Elevation for two Companions. Most content delivered from memory, with some reading, but that also presented well.

On the positive side, the Council has readied two candidates for the Royal Master degree.

They are a strong group of Cryptic Rite Masons, and they are not done yet.

Annual Tri-Council Meeting and Official Visit of M.I.C. Gerry Tetzloff, Grand Master.

The Vancouver Island District annual meeting was held at Morpeth Hall in Nanaimo, on Saturday, October 13, 2018. The meeting was preceded by a lunch prepared by a number of the wives and members of Adoniram Council. A repast well received and appreciated.

Following the opening of the meeting, our Grand Master, M.I.C. Gerry Tetzloff, was formally greeted and received in due form by the members of the three Councils present.

The Companions from each Council then joined to confer the S.E.M. degree on two candidates, they then being greeted as Super Excellent Masters.

The result of the election and appointment of the G.I.G. and Grand Steward for 2019-2020 were announced as T.I.C. Bruce Allan and T.I.C. Brian Beech respectively, members of Acme Council No. 14.

Following the Grand Master’s closing remarks, the Councils then presented a cheque and cash donation to our Grand Master for our Cryptic Rite Charitable Foundation.

Thus, ended a fine day of fellowship and camaraderie.

Respectfully submitted, RIC Harold J. Hayes, GIG Vancouver Island.

NOTE: RIC Harold J. Hayes has sent is regrets to this Grand Assembly, he just recently underwent heart surgery in Victoria, BC and the Grand Assembly extends a speedy recovery. JWK REPORT RECEIVED

Report of the Grand Treasurer

We are please, to report that the Grand Council is once again showing a bank balance for the year in the positive, although you would not see that on the Receipts/Expenditures where it shows a negative of approximately $6650.00. The main reason for this discrepancy is that the Grand Council with the approval of the Grand Assembly had changed the fiscal year to the calendar year, which now impacts the receipt of the Annual Fees for the 2018 year. Many of the Councils, if not all do not make their payments until after January 01. You may note that only $658.00 was collected for annual fees and deposited in the 2018 year. There was $7962.50 collected in 2019 that applies to the 2018 Annual Fees and when further examining it in relation to deficit of approximately $6650.00, one can clearly see that we are in the black, which computes to approximately $1310.00.

The Grand Recorder has made great strides in improving the Grand Council Officer regalia, and still has some updating to do, as can be seen by his report. Within the next couple of years, we can expect that all the regalia will be up-to-date and legal, which may change the amount budgeted for regalia.

Our current investments are gathering small amounts of interest, and we don’t expect much in that for the next while. We are looking at amalgamating some of the smaller investment accounts as they mature.

All in all, we believe that the Financial picture for the Grand Council is looking as good as can be expected.

MOTION: MIC Donald Russell moved and it was seconded that the Grand Treasurer’s report be received. CARRIED

Greetings from the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Manitoba Most Excellent Companion Jack Fryatt.

Deputy Grand Master’s Report 2018-2019

My Companions, I thank you for the privilege of being your Deputy Grand Master this year and I am looking forward to next year when I will be able to visit all Councils in our jurisdiction. I have traveled in British Columbia this year and I am encouraged by what I see. I had the honour of seeing eight (8) Companions in Vancouver take the RM and SM degree’s in one evening and all three councils on Vancouver Island have 3 candidates each, so I am very encouraged by our growth.

If all is in place by the end of summer, I will have the pleasure of visiting a new Council UD at its first meeting scheduled for September 12th in Dawson Creek BC of which I have the honour of being one of the founding members.

26

I am very pleased with the response I have had from all the Councils in arranging my itinerary for 2019 – 2020 and it is almost complete. If on my official visit your Council coincides with degree work please go ahead as it makes for an interesting evening.

I would like to finish by saying let’s make the 2019 – 2020 a year of growth for Cryptic Rite Masonry in Western Canada

Greetings from the Grand Imperial Conclave of Canada, Right Illustrious Knight Companion Jerry W. Kopp, the Grand Intendant General for the Alberta region, speaking on behalf of Most Illustrious Knight Companion Thomas Mortlock GCC Grand Sovereign. Report of the Finance Committee

Most Illustrious Sir and Companions:

I am pleased to announce that this past year been a great year financially, although looking at the expenses/income sheet one would get the impression that revenue was down considerably. This can be explained very easily; we had moved the fiscal year to the calendar year and therefore many of the Council are making their per capita fee payments from the previous year in the new year. This should all come into line next year, but we can assure that we manage this past year to come out with a profit.

The Grand Recorder has worked hard to bring the Grand Council Officer regalia up-to-date by replacing some of the old and making sure that all regalia is legal or at least conforms to our Constitution and Regulations. He hopes to have much of the regalia completely up-to-date within the next two years. Status of the regalia is contained in the Regalia Committee Report.

The Financial Review and Finance Committee recently met and it would appear that the review met the requirements, and we thank RICs David Boone and George Tapley for completing this task. The Financial Review Committee was presented just a few moments ago.

The Finance Committee prepared the budget for the upcoming year of 2019-2020 which is attached to this report. The Committee has made no changes to the previous year budget and looks forward to this Grand Council approving the 2019-2020 Budget. The Committee wishes to thank MIC Donald Russell keeping an accurate record of all the deposits and expenditures.

Most Illustrious Sir, I ask this report be accepted and I will follow up with two motions?

MIC Donald H. Murray, Chairman of the Finance Committee

Report of the Financial Review Committee

The review was completed on February 26, 2019 for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2018. Present were MIC Don Russell, Grand Treasurer; RIC Jerry Kopp, Grand Recorder; RIC David Boone and RIC George Tapley (auditors).

The financial reports were examined and found to be correct. There was some discussion about the lack of any significant revenue reported. This was due to the change in the inclusive dates of the fiscal year to end on Dec. 31. This anomaly will not occur in future years.

A suggestion was made to include some additional budget information in the statements and this change was made.

Respectfully submitted. RIC David Boone, Reviewer RIC George Tapley, Reviewer

Report of Laws & Jurisprudence

There is very little to report, no requests for interpretations were received and only one change to the Constitution and General Regulations. The change to the General Regulations was forwarded from last year’s Grand Assembly, as a submission from Portage Council, to amend by adding a new Grand Council Officers position, that of a Grand Registrar. It is agreed that the Registration Chairman has a great deal of work to do each year with really not recognition and therefore it is only appropriate to create a new position of Grand Registrar with the rank of Very Illustrious Companion.

MIC Donald Russell, Chairman RIC George Tapley Report Received

MOTION: MIC Donald Russell moved and it was seconded that the report of the Report of Laws & Jurisprudence Committee be adopted. REPORT CARRIED

Report of the Ritual Committee

Since the last Grand Assembly, this committee under took the complete review of the Royal Ark Mariners Installation/Investiture Ritual. The review included by adding to the ritual for the investiture of the Chaplain.

The Committee has now completed the review of three rituals and these rituals will be distributed to the Council Recorders in PDF format, who will then print off copies of the rituals as required. The Officer of the Grand Recorder will only have a copy of each ritual and will no longer be source for distribution. We have found that there are many different versions of the rituals within our Councils and we hope that providing the rituals as noted we can standardize the work. This will require that the Committee on the Work and Office of the Grand Recorder distribute an amended Ritual to each Council as amendments are made. The distribution of the Rituals in this manner will only apply to the undernoted:

a. R & SM Western Canada Installation b. Royal Ark Mariners Installation/Investiture c. Royal Ark Mariners Degree Ceremony

These rituals will not be available on the Grand Council’s Website as much of the information contained is only available to Installed officers of the respective masonic bodies.

The next challenge for the Committee is to do a complete review of the Grand Council of Cryptic Rite Masons of Western Canada – Ceremony Ritual with Dramatic Interpolation, and this is a project that may take a couple of years to complete. We invite any of the Councils to provide information as to where there are glaring errors in order that the corrections can be made. We will be looking at publishing this ritual as a coil bound and if there are any objection to this we would like to hear from the Councils and at the same time receive any suggestions of a better binding system.

Report of the Grand Recorder

Most Illustrious Grand Master, distinguished East and Companions.

The Office of the Grand Recorder has had a busy year and the office has gotten busier due to, that the Grand Recorder is now the Right Excellent Grand Scribe E Pro Tem, which could change on Saturday at the Grand Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons of Alberta Grand Convocation. As many of you know RIC Marvyn Rogers, Grand Organist passed to the Grand Council Above on June 9, 2018, this of course left the Office of the Grand Scribe E vacant. MIC Rogers had been the pillar of Capitular Masonry in Alberta and will be missed. In the meantime, I was tasked to take-over the position of Grand Scribe E on a temporary basis, this could change on Saturday or I remain in office as being elected by acclamation. Some may of the opinion that the two roles cannot be handled by one individual, and I can assure you that this is not a problem. I will continue to do my best to serve both bodies to the best of my ability.

The Office of the Grand Recorder has made great efforts to update all the Grand Council Officers’ Regalia. We have endeavoured to ensure that all the regalia conforms to the Grand Council Constitution and Regulations. The issue at hand was that the triangle on the Jewels and Aprons did not have the break in the proper location, which is on the left corner of the triangle when facing the triangle. The Office of the Grand Recorder has made arrangements to purchase all regalia through Canadian Masonic Supply in High River. We encourage that all Councils make their purchases through the Office of the Grand Recorder, for several reasons: 1. Maintain the standards of the regalia and 2. The Grand Council benefits by a small margin of profit that will help off-set the increase in the per capita fees. In speaking to the agent at Canadian Masonic Supply he finds that many members in the various concordant bodies are trying to order regalia that is not legal, for instance: Officer’s Grand Council Aprons and Collar Jewel have a circle with the office emblem mounted on the circle. Members have been trying to get the Office Jewel and Apron with a Laurel Leaf which only applies to those with the rank of a Past Grand Rank. Furthermore, aprons of Past Grand Appointed officers do not have the frill around the apron perimeter. The frill is only for past elected Officers. Attached to this report you find a chart for the condition of the Grand Council Regalia, what is new, what needs to be replaced and what needs to be replaced in the future. With respect to the purchasing of Council regalia, as mentioned above, we ask that you purchase through the Office of the Grand Recorder. Arrangements have been made that the agent will receive the order from the Office of the Grand Recorder, he will fill the order when the supply is available and then forward same directly to the Council. Office of the Grand Recorder will receive the invoice from the Agent, and then the Council will be billed. The mark up on the goods will basically not exceed the retail price from the Canadian Masonic Supply, which will encourage the Councils to go through the Grand Recorder and the Grand Council can benefit from the small mark up. 34

An item that continues to be of concern to the Grand Council is the submission of Council summonses to the Grand Line and to the office of the Grand Recorder. There are a couple of Councils that have yet to submit a single summons. The Constitution and Regulations require that this be done.

The Grand Council has some concerns with respect to use of the Grand Website by the Councils. It is under-used by both the Grand Council and the Councils within this jurisdiction. RIC Jim Whyte the Webmaster for the Grand Council is eager to help where he can, but if he does not receive any information it is difficult for him to respond to your needs. The Office of the Grand Recorder is reviewing the forms supply and he is of the opinion that there is no need for the office to ship various forms to the Councils, when same can be made available via the Website, at no cost. You will note that there are several forms already on the Web and more are to come, so please use the Website.

The Committee on the Work and the Office of the Grand Recorder are currently examining the installation booklets for the Council and Royal Ark Mariners Lodge, along with the Ceremony of Elevation with the form of Opening and Closing in the Royal Ark Mariners Lodge. The first duty is clean up on the typing errors and formatting the rituals into a more readable document. The other change that we want to bring about is that the Office of the Grand Recorder no longer supply these three rituals, but rather that each Council would receive a PDF format copy and the Council can then reproduce the rituals as they see fit. Now, you may wonder why this direction, the Grand Council sees this as the most cost effective and time management practice. First and foremost, office storage is very limited and secondly the reproduction is very time consuming, each time the rituals are in short supply, one has to replenish the stock (Usually in small numbers). The cost of printing continues to climb upward and postage seems to follow the same trend. This will also help in that the Councils will now have the most up-to-date rituals. These rituals will not be placed on the web-site primarily due to the numbers of restricted signs, tokens and words contained therein. The Committee on the Work and the Office of the Grand Recorder will soon undertake a complete review and update of the R and S.M. Western Canada Ceremony Ritual with Dramatic Interpolations. This is a project take a couple of years or more, but be assured you will know when it is complete. We also ask that the Councils review the rituals and if you see where there is a need to correct, change or amend any portion to please let the Office of the Grand Recorder know. Remember this is your ritual and it has to be workable.

The Grand Recorder has accompanied the Grand Master – MIC Gerald Tetzloff on two visits out of province. One visit to Revelstoke where they had joint meeting with Cascade Council #18 and Zenith Council #16. The second trip was to icy, snowy, rainy and foggy City of Regina, Saskatchewan, where we attended the installation of the Saskatchewan Council #6. Both visits the GM and myself were well received and we thank the many courtesies shown by the Councils.

Grand Council has not issued new Warrants or Charters, although Dawson Creek Companions of Royal Arch Masons are still in the planning stage of form a Cryptic Rite Council. The Grand Council can now report that the Dawson Creek Companions have now submitted their Petition to form a new Council in the City of Dawson Creek. Their documents have been submitted and currently under review. We are pleased to announce that have 14 Charter members and that the key positions for the Council will be past Grand Council Officers. The position of Principal Conductor of the Work will be one of their newest Companion and Charter member of the Council. There is a remote possibility that Fort McMurray may take steps to form a Council in that city.

FRATERNAL RELATIONS The Grand Representative System is gradually failing. Experience from other Concordant Bodies has shown that the program has lost its true value and the Representative System is being dropped. There is very little or no communication between the Grand Representatives and any that do maintain contact are not reporting any valuable information that would be of value to our jurisdiction. Many of the Masonic Bodies are invited to attend the Grand Council of Cryptic Rite Masons of Western Canada Annual Assembly to bring greetings, and those same bodies extend an invitation to our Grand Master to bring greetings to their assembly.

There were 6 Companions who were registered as Grand Representatives. He reminded the Companions to sign the register. In attendance were:

MIC DB Russell – Canada (Eastern) RIC C Hartmier – Israel MIC D Grange – USA Kentucky MIC R Turner – USA Minnesota RIC N Marsh – USA Nevada RIC E Weiglet – USA Pennsylvania

These items can be made available through your Council Recorder at much cheaper rate, for instance one booklet is sold to the Council for approximately $3.50 plus postage which is about $1.90. Should any of these booklets or rituals be amended, the amended ritual will be forwarded to each Council via email in PDF format at no cost.

To the Most Illustrious Grand Master, Officers and Members of Grand Council.

The Honours and Awards Committee sadly must report a “NIL” report as we did not receive any applications to be considered for an award.

Perhaps the two awards that are available could be given a higher profile during the visits of the Grand Inspectors Generals. There must be Companions in a Jurisdiction as wide spread as ours that should be considered for these awards.

Historian’s Report 2018-2019

Grand Master Officers, Members and Visitors of the Grand Council of Cryptic Rite Masons of Western Canada, Royal and Select Masters.

During the past year the Grand Inspector Generals reported that degrees where will performed in many of the councils with some of the Councils preforming the drama portion of the work. The historian was pleased to see that reports noted an influx of candidate in some of the Councils.

This year the Councils in Portage and Brandon adopted having join meetings which is reported to be working well and it is hoped this will see growth for both Councils.

The history for this year will show that the Grand Master not only visited every Council but also represented the Cryptic Rite at the Royal Arch convocations in Western Canada and The Grand Cryptic Council of Greece.

Unfortunately, this year three of our Past Grand Masters were called to higher service.

• George R.E. Tilloston – Grand Master 2003-2004 - Passed: 29 JUL 2018 MIC Tillotson born in Port Arthur, Ontario July 28, 1924. Educated Lynn Valley Public School and North Vancouver High School.

MIC Tickner was • Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Saskatchewan AF&AM • Past Grand First Principal of the Grand Chapter of Saskatchewan • Provincial Grand Prior Sask District SGP of Canada 40

REPORT ON THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS GRAND MASTER’ADDRESS 2019

You were all present during the address of our Grand Master this morning therefore it would serve little purpose in reiterating the contents of that address.

Suffice it to say that our Grand Master gave us some valid thoughts to consider.

It should be noted that our Grand Master did yeoman service in his visitations within our Grand Jurisdiction and in representing this body in sister jurisdictions and concordant bodies.

I must note too that all dispensations issued were within the Grand Masters authority to issue.

I must be careful now, from the glowing reports I received from other PGM's I would probably be shot at dawn if I criticized anything. I will add that I don't think Gerry's report was the longest one we have received.

We must acknowledge the time and effort that has been put in visiting the constituent Councils and those abroad. MIC Gerry and his wife Anita were excellent representatives wherever they went. I am sure the Councils and other Grand Jurisdictions were impressed by the quality of our ambassadors.

On behalf of the PGM's and this Grand Council I would like to thank MIC Tetzloff and his wife Anita for their untiring work on our behalf. We look forward to his joining our PGM's group later this afternoon. Respectfully submitted, MIC Don Russell And PGM'S

Greetings from Cryptic Rite Masons of Ontario

Installing Grand Master: In the name and by the authority of the Grand Council of Cryptic Rite Masons of Western Canada R & SM, I proclaim the Most Illustrious Grand Master and the officers of this Grand Council, duly installed and invested for the ensuing twelve months and until their successors shall have been elected or appointed and installed or invested in their stead.

IGM: MI Sir, the Grand Council of Cryptic Rite Masons of Western Canada, R & SM is now in your hands. Lastly, I present to you this gavel of authority and ask that you wield it judiciously and impartially at all times.

MIC Les Robinson – Grand Master Grand Master Inaugural Address

Companions, I thank you for this office bestowed on me, over the next twelve months I plan to visit every Council in this jurisdiction at least once, I have schedule made out and its been distributed, there is a few errors, because unfortunately some of our Scribes or Recorders do not inform our Grand Recorder of the changes and dates of their meetings, they will be hearing from me. Ladies and Companions over the next year what I hope to do, is to try and encourage all our Councils to seek new members, more than that, I want them to find out why we are losing members, it is no use to find six new members and we loose seven older members, because if we loose seven members and we get seven new one, they are going to wonder why we have lost the other members. So, let us try and find out, we can’t change our ritual, we don’t want to change our ritual, it’s beautiful, but we can change the way we do things and I would like to see that. I also would like to see that the Council meetings, if you don’t see me this year, and if you have a degree this year, please don’t cancel the degree because I am coming, I love to see these degrees. If you have some special occasion where wish me to attend, say an anniversary that you think is important, I will do my best to be there. I can’t guarantee it, because some of the weather conditions in Western Canada are not conducive at times, but I will try to be there if you invite me. I hope in the next year. I hope to carry on with the traditions that have been carried on in the past. I am open to all suggestions, criticism, not too much at home, but always open to suggestions on how we can improve this jurisdiction. We have four beautiful provinces and we have a beautiful order, and I still say the lecture is in the Select Master’s Degree it the best in Freemasonry, and hear that one time and time again. Once get the person into and we have to make sure he stays. May Council just about surrendered its Charter this year, we lost our Scribe and lost our Treasurer and we now have 13 members, and of that 13 members, we get 11 members out at every meeting. I bet there are a few Councils that would like to get that percentage out also. Now we have four new members going through and they are not as old as me, not too many people are these days, and they are enthusiastic and we have to think of a way to keep them enthusiastic, not to put them into office next week that they come out. Over the next year let’s see if we can maintain members, as well as obtain members. I am not going to keep you any longer, once again thank you again for the honour you have bestowed on me. It is something I never aspired to. Thank you All

Thank you Companions Sincerely & Fraternally yours;
