Grand Master’s Meritorious Service Award
Congratulations R.W. Bro. Ian MacKenzie
At the 170th Annual Communication of Grand Lodge, held this past July, Algoma East now has another member who has received an award from M.W. Bro. Jamie Ireland. R.W. Bro. Ian MacKenzie was one of three recipients of the Grand Master’s Meritorious Service Award.
This is a prestigious honour presented by the Grand Master to outstanding Masons, recognizing exceptional service to the fraternity. Recipients of this award are identified by a gold medallion suspended from a royal blue ribbon. The designation was established in 1988 by then – Grand Master R.W. Bro. W. R. Pellow.
This will be hard to believe, but R.W. Bro. Ian was absolutely speechless after receiving the award. Congratulations R.W. Bro. Ian MacKenzie on being awarded one of the highest awards in Masonry. It was hard earned and most definitely well deserved.
R.W. Bro. Ian MacKenzie is a member of Hatherly Lodge No. 625 and an affiliate member of Lorne Lodge No. 622.
