One of the longest standing traditions in Edmonton Freemasonry is Ivanhoe’s Builder’s Night.  On Thursday September 16, 2010, an Entered Apprentice degree will be put on by brethren from the local building, construction, and engineering industries.  It continues to be a well attended meeting of brethren from various lodges.  Lodge tyles at 7:30pm at the Masonic Hall in Fort Edmonton Park, followed by the degree, and a festive board meal afterward.  Join us!  For parking, do not use main lot, take the side road further down to the gate, say you are with the lodge, then go left to the smaller dirt lot.  Walk down historic 1905 Street and the hall is on the left.
