Brotherly love, relief and truth, three great tenets that are taken seriously by the members of Ashlar Lodge No.3.
Our aim at Ashlar is to provide a meaningful fraternal experience to those who wish to join us, as well as the Masonic community at large. The growing ranks of younger Masonic applicants has created a more vibrant and exciting trend in freemasonry here on Vancouver Island.
I feel that this trend is for a number of reasons:
- -curious minds seeking out what the secrets of freemasonry holds for them;
- a general passion to find fraternal friendships;
- -the desire to belong to a time honoured order which makes good men better;
From the early days of coal miners and settlers that founded Ashlar Lodge (1873) and its predecessors (1867), to the modern day Freemasons which arrange under our banner today, Ashlar Lodge has stuck tightly to our old traditions. From our Scottish ritual and unique regalia to the heritage building in downtown Nanaimo which we call home. This pride and respect that we hold for Ashlar is meant to translate to the respect that we hold for all Freemasons far and wide.
If you are a Freemason, please come visit us. If you are curious about belonging to our ancient order there is a tab on our homepage that will direct you to make your inquiry.
Thank you for taking the time to review our website.
Come see us in 2020!
