Canadian jurisdictions

Craft Grand Lodge jurisdictions in Canada

Freemasonry in Canada is organized jurisdictionally. Craft Masonry is governed primarily by provincial Grand Lodges and recognized Prince Hall Grand Lodge jurisdictions. Additional rites, orders and societies operate under their own governing bodies, eligibility requirements and geographic jurisdictions.

Prince Hall Affiliated jurisdictions

Prince Hall Affiliated Freemasonry is a historic Craft Masonic tradition with its own sovereign Grand Lodge governance, constituent lodges and associated Masonic family organizations. These are parallel Craft jurisdictions, not appendant organizations. The Ontario and Jurisdiction Grand Lodge also charters Prince Hall Craft lodge activity in Montreal, Quebec.

Recognition notice

Recognition and visitation status can change. Always confirm current status directly with the relevant Grand Lodge.

Each Grand Lodge is sovereign within its own jurisdiction, and Canada has no national Craft Grand Lodge governing every Canadian Mason.

How to join, and where to ask

Every Grand Lodge above publishes its own membership enquiry route and, in most cases, a directory of constituent lodges. Begin there rather than with a third-party listing. The pathway explorer sets out what to expect.
