SAANICHTON MASONIC TEMPLE

A century in the making 

This building is a fine example of a simple and elegant Masonic structure.  It was purpose built over 5 years starting in 1924, funded by members of Mt. Newton Lodge No. 89 and Eastern Star Ruth Chapter No. 22, the latter being a Masonic organization for women of all ages and backgrounds that is over 150 years old. It is a rectangular building constructed due East and West as Lodge halls should be (if possible) and has a large banquet room and a full kitchen and bar on the main floor.  The Lodge room, or Temple, is located on the upper floor.  It is managed and owned by the Saanichton Masonic Temple Association which was formed by the two founding groups and is now solely managed by United Peninsula Lodge No. 24, an amalgamation of three Lodges.
