Calling All Speakers!

In support of the Strategic Plan adopted by Grand Lodge, a Speakers Bureau is being formed so that Lodges can more readily find speakers for the Masonic Education portions of their programs.  To start the process, the call is going out to obtain the names of speakers who are willing to visit Lodges and make presentations when invited.  The first step is to identify the speakers and the topics they are able to present and get that information on our website.

If you are able and willing to give a talk in Lodge on a Masonic subject, or if you know of someone who has given a talk that you think would be a good candidate to put on the list, please provide the following information to David Roth, Junior Grand Warden at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

1. Name of Presenter
2. Title of Presentation (if known)
3. Topic (general, esoteric, ritual, regalia, symbolism, history, or whatever)
4. Brief Description (if possible)

Each of the presenters will be contacted and the information verified before any contacts are put on the website.  Hopefully, the list will include whether the presentation is suitable for Lodge or Festive Board as well as information on how long the presentation takes, the type of presentation (talk, power point, discussion, etc.)

 This annual event is again co-sponsored by Highlands-Unity Lodge No. 168, Jasper Lodge No. 14, and Fiat Lux Lodge No. 1980, will be held this year on Saturday, November 28.

This year's guest is MW Bro. Don Beattie, who was Grand Master of Manitoba in 2004-2005.

MW Bro. Beattie will speak on topics related to his forthcoming book, Between the Lines, in which he examines the Masonic ritual and provides a means of interpreting the deeper messages contained therein. He will give two different talks on this subject: the first will be given at a tyled meeting of Fiat Lux Lodge of Research #1980, open to all Master Masons, that will be held at Edmonton Freemasons' Hall beginning at 2:00 PM; the second talk will be part of a banquet that same evening.
