A GROUP OF BROTHERS WITH A COMMON BOND
Masonry is based on the belief that each man has a responsibility to help make the world a better place. Also known as freemasonry, we are the world’s first and largest fraternity. Freemasons are a brotherhood of like-minded men who are honest and genuinely care about each other. We develop lifelong friendships with other Masons and their families, and are welcomed at Masonic lodges throughout Toronto and the world.
Our membership consists of brothers from various religions, ethnicities, ages, and educational backgrounds. We strive for harmony in our lives, lodge, and community. We take responsibility for the well-being of each other, our families, and the community in which we live, and the world as a whole. We provide relief through our philanthropic efforts and community involvement.
We strive to become a better version of ourselves and continue our pursuit of knowledge through continuous studies of the liberal arts and sciences.
