The Town of Oakville and Freemasonry have a long history together. The Town’s founding citizen, William Chisholm, was also a dedicated Mason who was instrumental in establishing the Oakville Lodge. Our members are proud of our past and the rich traditions that unite Lodge and Community continue to this day.
For centuries, millions of men of every race, color, creed, and political
persuasion have discovered that Freemasonry provides a foundation to guide
them on their search for answers to eternal questions.
Any man who becomes a Mason is taught a pattern for living that
includes reverence, morality, kindness, honesty, dependability and
compassion. He must be prepared to
honour his country, uphold its laws and respect those in authority. He must
be prepared to maintain honourable relations with others and be willing to
share in Masonic activities. In other
words, Freemasonry is a way of life.
This site has been designed to
provide information for both Masons and non-Masons who would like to know
more about Freemasonry in general and about Oakville Lodge 400 in
particular. Everyone is welcome.
To Be A Mason, Ask a Mason...If
you’re thinking about becoming a Mason, you’re likely already aware that the
fraternity has many longstanding traditions and customs.
Perhaps the first you will encounter is the prohibition against
soliciting new members. Masons
believe that those who show genuine desire and interest in becoming members
are best suited to being Masons.
Only YOU can really know if you are prepared to be a Mason and so it’s up to
you to seek membership. It’s as
simple as that… to be a Mason, ask a Mason.
