  • Rehabilitation of Masonic Temple in Winnipeg by Noushin Nayyeri A
    Abandoned Temple: Rehabilitation of Masonic Temple in Winnipeg by Noushin Nayyeri A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2016 Noushin Nayyeri ABANDONED TEMPLE REHABILITATION OF MASONIC TEMPLE IN WINNIPEG ABSTRACT The Masonic Temple is a vital Winnipeg building that has been vacant and exposed to deterioration for over a decade. This thesis will explore strategies for rescuing this building and intervening in the heritage site such that the building becomes involved with the city once again. The thesis will explore the cultural value of the Masonic Temple, its history, and its current condition. It will propose ways to preserve the façade as a container whilst opening the interior of the building to host another ‘building’ and program. This proposal will reflect on the symbolism, strict architectural principles, and lasting secrecy of the Free Masons. These ideas will be a tool that shapes the program and will include an inventive series of spaces for various functions related to local art and architecture.

  • The Grand Lodge of Manitoba by James A
    THE GRAND LODGE OF MANITOBA BY JAMES A. OV AS, 33° P. G. M ., and Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba. HE first Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted T Ma£ons to organize in what is now the Province of Manitoba, was by authority of M.W. Bro. A. T . C. Pierson, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Minne­ sota, under a dispensation dated the thirteenth day of September, 1863, coming by way of Pembina, Dakota Territory, to Fort 9-arry (now Winnipeg), in what was then known as the Red River Settlement. In his address to the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, at the eleventh Annual Communication, held at the City of St. Paul, on the twenty-seventh day of October, 1863, M. W. Bro. Pierson, Grand Master, says: "About the middle of last month I received an application signed by W. Bros. C. W. Nash, J. L. Armington, A. T. Chamblin, Charles H. Mix, and eight others, who were en route for Pembina, Dakota Territory, for a Dispensation authorizing them to open and work a Lodge. Pembina is the most northern point in the territory of the United States, a great central point where concentrates a large amount of emigration, and of travel between the two oceans. The want of a Lodge at that place has been long felt and often expressed; and as the brethren named were active, ~ell-informed and discreet Masons, the first two former Masters, and the latter Wardens of Lodges within this jurisdiction-and as they expected to remain in that region for at least two years, I granted a Dispensation to establish a Lodge at Pembina.

  • Canada and Canadian Freemasonry by MW Bro. Hugh Young
    Canada and Canadian Freemasonry Presented at The Sheffield Masonic Study Circle Thursday 29th September 2005 Hugh Young Past Grand Master Grand Lodge of Alberta AF & AM Canada and Canadian Freemasonry Introduction When I was mulling it over in my mind how I would address this topic with some degree of organization to it and recognizing that while everyone in this room knows where Canada is but probably not much more, the first part of my talk is about Canada and its development. In this way, I can set the stage for Canadian Freemasonry and its development. I will get into how Freemasonry arrived on Canada's shores, some of the major (and minor) players and how the Grand Lodges developed across the country - right up to the Grand Lodge of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1997. This will include how Grand Lodges are organized and how there are many differences between each including some of the differences in the Rituals. I will conclude with some happenings across Canada now and in the immediate future with a more particular emphasis on my own Grand Lodge of Alberta. Canada Today Canada is a country covering 9,957,540 Km2 (3,844,907 sq mls.). This figure includes 755,051 Km2 (291,548 sq. mls.) of inland freshwater lakes. It stretches from Cape Spear in Newfoundland, the most easterly point in North America at 52°37' west to 141° west, which coincides with part of the Alaskan-Yukon frontier. Although much of the border with the USA lies at the 49th parallel, the most southerly point is Middle Island in Lake Erie, at latitude 41°41' north and most northerly part on land is Cape Columbia on Ellesmere Island at latitude 83°07' north.
