Burnaby Lodge 150

Masonry is a way of life. We are a society of friends and brothers banded together into a Fraternity -- a fraternity open to all good men who desire to become better men.

 

We are a voluntary organization. We do not solicit membership. We are not a secret society but like all fraternities we have some secrets. 

 

Stated meetings are at 4474 Rupert Street in Vancouver, BC every second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm.

We are dark July and August.

Membership is open to men of any race or religion who can fulfill these essential qualifications. 

 

The Three Great Principles

 

For many years we Freemasons have followed three great principles: 

 

Brotherly Love

Every true Freemason will show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures.

 

 

Relief

Freemasons are taught to practice charity, and to care, not only for their own, but also for the community as a whole, both by charitable giving, and by voluntary efforts and works as individuals.

 

 

Truth

Freemasons strive for truth, requiring high moral standards and aiming to achieve them in their own lives. Freemasons believe that these principles represent a way of achieving higher standards in life.
