News Release - Covid 19: Update

Companions:
Subsequent to the announcement of March 14, 2020 and due to the continuing spread of the Covid –19 virus, we hereby inform you that the 151stAnnual Communication of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons will now be scheduled to be held at Truro, NS on May 6 –8, 2021.

All present Grand Grand Chapter Officers will remain in office until the above noted Annual Communication in 2021. Companions elected and/or nominated and scheduled to be installed in 2020 will be installed in 2021. No further nominations will be accepted.

It is further directed that:

1. For the constituent Chapters that held their installation before March 14; the newly installed officers of these Chapters will remain in office until their regular installation ceremony in 2022.

2. For the constituent Councils that have not had their installation their current officers will remain in office until their regular installation in 2021.

Companions, these directives are consistent with those issued by other Masonic Jurisdictions. We are aware that they are rather abnormal, but we are living in abnormal times. The decisions have been made after much soul searching and with due concern for the well being of our fellow Companions. Stay safe and follow the guidelines of your respective Health Authorities.

Fraternally & Respectfully;
Robert G. MacDougall, Grand High Priest.

News Release - RE: Covid-19

Companions,

In light of the changing status and evolving nature of the COVID-19 spread in Canada and after due consultation and in keeping with the actions taken by several nation Masonic bodies, I deem it necessary to cancel all Royal Arch Masons meetings (including the Grand Convocation, 2020), activities and social events (other than those conducted by teleconferencing).

This directive is to become effective immediately and continue for the foreseeable future.

I realize this may cause some difficulties, however, the well-being of our membership must be our primary concern.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide future updates as appropriate.

Fraternally and Respectfully;
Robert G. MacDougall, Grand High Priest.
