Masonry in Edmonton
The history of Masonry in the Edmonton area began with the institution of Saskatchewan Lodge #53 in 1882. It was chartered by the Grand Registry of Manitoba, who had the jurisdiction over Masonic activities in the Northwest Territories, in which Edmonton was positioned at that time. This Lodge, however, became inactive in 1893, due to a lack of membership.
1905 was the year that Alberta became a Province and also was the year that the Grand Lodge of Alberta took responsibility for all matters Masonic within its borders. One of its earliest functions was to present a Charter to the first active Masonic Lodge in Edmonton, known as Edmonton #7. The first Lodge chartered in the province was Bow Valley in Calgary in 1904.
