PARKSVILLE MASONIC HALL

Concord Masonic Temple

Since its inception, Concord Lodge used a building owned by the Nanoose Lumber Company.  In 1919, Concord Lodge purchased the building for $900. That building was situated on the parking lot directly behind the present building. The present building was completed in 1947. On August 30, 1947, the 215th Emergent Communication was held for the purpose of opening the new Masonic Temple.  Right Worshipful Brother McGugan, Grand Senior Warden, laid the plaque at the Northeast Corner. That plaque is still there today.

Concord Masonic Temple Association owns the building and the parking lot to the south of the building.  The lower floor of the building is leased to businesses.

The upper floor of the building houses the lodge and banquet rooms, as well as storage room and kitchen.

Besides Concord Lodge, Qualicum Lodge No. 197 meets in the morning of the last Saturday of each month except December and January.

Other Concordant bodies that meet in the Concord Masonic Temple include Order of Eastern Star, Royal Arch Masons, Red Cross of Constantine, Arbutus Conclave and Bethlehem Preceptory.
