Recently Mr. Wayne Bunt was installed as the Worshipful Master of Minerva Lodge No. 304 at their regular meeting. He replaces Mr. Gordon Murray who was Master of the Lodge during the past year. Approximately 50 local Masons and visiting Masons throughout the area were in attendance. Minerva Lodge was instituted in 1873 in Stroud and its presence has been an asset to the community through the years.

Freemasonry is the oldest fraternity known to man and encourages goodwill and charity towards all mankind. It inspires personal growth and recognizes human equality. Masonic Lodges provide assistance to worthwhile causes through The Masonic Foundation of Ontario.
