Curious about Freemasonry, but not sure where to start? This is your invitation to step inside and see for yourself.
Join us on April 15 at 7:00 PM at 183 First Avenue West, North Bay for a relaxed, no-pressure introduction to the Craft.
This evening is designed for men 21 years of age or older who are exploring the idea of Freemasonry and want real insight, not second-hand assumptions.
Here’s what you can expect:
No cost. No commitment. Just an open door.
Freemasonry has always been about men seeking growth, meaning, and connection. This is your chance to see what that actually looks like in practice, right here in North Bay.
If you’ve been thinking about it, this is where you start.

Join us at Powassan Lodge for a special Rusty Mason program designed to welcome back Brothers who have not attended Lodge recently. If you have been away for a long time and are worried that you may have forgotten the ritual or methods of recognition, this gathering is specifically for you.
The morning will feature a relaxed and casual atmosphere, completely free from stress, where you can comfortably refresh your memory alongside supportive Brethren. We will gently review the basic requirements for gaining admittance into a Lodge, including the signs, tokens, words, grips, and steps.
Please dress casually to help keep the morning friendly and relaxed. All attending Brethren are asked to bring a current dues card to verify their Masonic membership.
Following the 10:00 AM instruction, we will adjourn to the banquet room at 12:00 Noon for a luncheon and a great period of Masonic fellowship. We eagerly support your desire to participate again and look forward to welcoming you back to the Light of Freemasonry.
