ACACIA LODGE

Acacia Lodge is named after the Acacia tree, which is an important symbol of Freemasonry. Our Lodge number is 561, which represents the order in which our Lodge received its Warrant. The older the lodge, the lower the number. Our governing body is the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario... Ionic Lodge, No. 526, Westboro, was instituted in December 1914 and had steady growth from that date until the year 1919. At that time the number of applications for initiation became so great that it was felt that the time was ripe for another Lodge at Westboro... After discussing the matter with the members of Ionic Lodge, the D.D.G.M., R.W. Bro. F. A. Heney requested R.W. Bro. D. A. MacEachern, P.M., Acacia Lodge No. 71, G.R.Q., and D.D.G.M. of Ottawa District No. 6, G.R.Q., to undertake the formation of a new Lodge.
