Welcome to Peterborough District Masonry
I would like to begin by saying how honoured I am to have the opportunity to represent Peterborough District, as the District Deputy Grand Master. To everyone in the district who has guided, instructed and encouraged me, thank you. I will do my very best to bring honour to your choice.
The District Project this year is to continue the great work started by R. W. Bro Rob Kiff, continued by R. W. Bro Bharat Maini, the Skilled Trades Student Bursaries. As Masons, our Fraternity story is founded on skilled workmen who, under the guidance of a skilled master, worked their way to excellence and service. Our point in time has a severe shortage of skilled trades workers, so helping our graduating students serves many purposes. This year’s District Project number is 2615.
I would also like to inform you that the Grand Master’s Project is to assist Children with dyslexia, through the Scottish Rite Charitable Foundation. The Ontario-Based Learning Centres for Children are a wonderful success story in helping kids overcome this affliction and go on to thrive. Established in 2003 by the Scottish Rite Charitable Foundation, Learning Centers help children with Dyslexia; learn to read through free, one on one tutoring, based on the Orton Gillingham approach, and tailored to each child’s learning needs.
Funding raised through the Grand Master’s Project will be directed evenly by the Masonic Foundation of Ontario to the four Ontario Learning Centers located in Windsor, London, Hamilton and Barrie. The Grand Master’s Project number is 26000.
