MAPLE RIDGE LODGE HALL

FOUNDATIONAL MOVEMENTS

This historical building was constructed in 1931 for the Freemasons of Prince David Lodge No. 101. It was designed by the same architectural firm that built the Vancouver Marine building. The Cornerstone was laid on February 23, 1931, and the Lodge furniture was made from local beech wood.  Shortly after its 45th birthday, it mysteriously moved (via flat deck) from its original location on 225th Street at Lougheed Highway to its present location at 222nd Street and 116th Avenue.  A mural in the Maple Ridge Museum shows the building in its original location.  

ANGLICANS ODD FELLOWS AND FREEMASONS

Initial discussions on the formation of a Lodge in Maple Ridge were facilitated by cooperation between the local Anglican priest and local Freemasons who instituted their new Lodge in 1922 in the Oddfellows building in Haney. Two Lodges use this Temple as a meeting place,  the namesake Prince David No. 101 and Landmark Lodge No. 128.  You can learn more about both Lodges further down this page.  

CONTINUED COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

The Maple Ridge Hospital and the Food Bank are regular recipients of donations and fundraising by the Freemasons of Prince David Lodge. High school graduates going on to tertiary studies also receive bursaries, including students from Garibaldi, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows secondary schools.
