Algoma East District Travelling Gavel

Travelling Gavel – Algoma East Masons

“Where O’ Where has the Travelling Gavel gone’ O’ Where O’ Where can it be”

Brethren the purpose of the Travelling Gavel Program aims to foster visitation and brotherhood within our District. There are a number of rules which govern its use which are listed below for your reference. The gavel is never without a copy of the rules and the ledger of its history and travel. The Lodge that holds the gavel will remain to do so until a group of Masons fitting within the requirements of the rules visits that Lodge and request that it be relinquished to them.
