2022 GRAND LODGE Communication
Kimberly June 23rd. - 25th.
This is the first time this event has been held in the region. The area has a long Masonic tradition with Lodges in the region with a century of participation. The Kootenay region is also home of Gizeh Shrine Club No.1 in Trail. The area is known for its diversity and beauty. Home to several mountain ranges from the Rockies to the oldest ranges in BC, the Purcells. With trophy fishing lakes and rivers, stunning golf courses, hot springs, fruit and wine growing regions along with both craft and major breweries, it is a great location for the 2022 Grand Communication as well as a lovely place to take a few extra days to visit.
