<strong>Constituted</strong>: 1912</p>
<p><strong>Ritual</strong>: Antient York Rite</p>
<p><strong>Installation</strong>: January</p>
<p><strong>Meets</strong>: 3rd Monday (7:30 pm start) of every month except July &amp; August</p>
<p><strong>BRIEF HISTORY</strong>: It was W. Bro. John James Jackson, a Past Master of Shuniah Lodge No. 287 in Port Arthur, Ontario who took the initiative to form Camosun Lodge. He organized a meeting at 736 Fort Street in Victoria on Friday, February 17th, 1911. A preference for the Antient York Rite (now styled &#8220;Ancient&#8221; or &#8220;American&#8221;) was shown by those present. It was agreed that the new lodge would be named &#8216;Camosun.&#8217; The first work was exemplified on August 7th, 1911 Dispensation was granted by M.W. Bro. F. J. Burd on August 17th, 1911. The first regular communication of Camosun Lodge, under dispensation, was held on October 16, 1911, when ten petitions for initiation were presented. The warrant of the lodge was issued June 20th, 1912, by M. W. Bro. J. M. Rudd, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of A.F. &amp; A.M. of British Columbia. On July 15, 1912, Camosun Lodge, A.F. &amp; A.M. No. 60 was consecrated and constituted by M. W. Bro. Rudd and its first officers were installed.</p>
<p>Camosun Lodge boasts 32 founding (charter) members ranging from Port Arthur Ontario, Chicago, Pennsylvania and New Mexico to Glasgow, Scotland and Southport, England.</p>
<p><strong>ABOUT OUR LODGE</strong>: Camosun Lodge holds as a fundamental principle that Freemasonry has always been characterized by that order and system necessary to cement lasting friendship among the brethren. Its aims are to promote decorum and harmony in the lodge, and the proper exemplification of the principles of the Ancient Craft at all times</p>
<p>Camosun Lodge is one of seven lodges in District No. 21. It meets in the beautifully adorned and recently refurbished Masonic Temple at 650 Fisgard Street. Our lodge roster ranges between 90 and 100 members, Our members range in age from mid-20&#8242;s on up and come from a multitude of vocations, resulting in a diverse and interesting band of brothers. They are active throughout the Masonic community and many are members of concordant bodies. Our members derive a great deal of enjoyment through visitations to other lodges, both near and far. We strive to make our meeting interesting through varied programs and frequent education. Our meetings are always followed by a warm and friendly festive board to which all visitors are cordially invited.</p>
<p>If you are interested in visiting Camosun Lodge, contact the secretary and we will do what we can to facilitate your visit and make you feel welcome and at home amongst your brethren. Similarly, if you have questions about Freemasonry or are interested in becoming a member of Camosun Lodge, we encourage you to contact the secretary.</p>
