The History of Algoma Lodge No. 469
A warrant from Grand Lodge was issued on July 20, 1905. The first Worshipful Master of the Lodge was Worshipful Brother D. D. Lewis. At the first regular meeting held on July 13, 1904 the members expressed their confidence in their new Lodge by instructing the Secretary to purchase two dozen aprons.
On June 4, 1905 the Lodge experienced its first official visit by a District Deputy Grand Master, when Right Worshipful Brother M. McFadden honoured them with his presence.
The Lodge continued to grow and in 1914 it held ten regular meetings and twenty-seven emergent meetings.
From 1914 to 1918 there were fifty-nine members of the Lodge who served in His Majesty’s forces during the Great War.
In 1921 the Lodge had the satisfaction of seeing the first one of its members selected as District Deputy Grand Master. Right Worshipful Brother H. J. Moorhouse would occupy that distinguished office.
Over the years the Lodge has had thirteen of its members serve in that capacity. The Lodge continued its growth and in the 1950’s and 60’s there were years when as many as eighty-two degrees were conferred.
One of the highlights of the first one hundred years of Algoma Lodge history was the presentation in 1986 of the prestigious William Mercer Wilson Medal to Brother Godfrey H. Wyatt, for his outstanding contributions to his Lodge and to Masonry in general.
The year 2004 marked the One Hundredth Anniversary of Algoma Lodge and the year was celebrated with many activities. The Most Worshipful Brother Donald H. Mumby, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario, attended Lodge and a gala dinner marking the event. Our own Right Worshipful Brother William J. Vair was the District Deputy Grand Master during our Centennial.
Algoma Lodge continues to grow and its members continue to take their place in the fraternity and in society in general.
