Brotherhood
Built to Last
Edmonton Lodge No. 7 has shaped the character of this province for over 130 years. We meet every second and fourth Tuesday. We would be honoured to meet you.
One of Alberta’s Oldest — Chartered Before the Province
Edmonton Lodge No. 7 was chartered in 1892 — thirteen years before Alberta became a province. From our earliest days, members of this Lodge have helped shape the structural and cultural fabric of both the City of Edmonton and the Province of Alberta. We work in the Ancient York Rite and proudly celebrated our 125th year in 2017.
Our membership has drawn from every walk of life: craftsmen, business leaders, military men, and those who have served in the political life of our community. One of our proudest ongoing commitments is our benevolent work in partnership with the Ionic Club and our Daughter Lodge, Eastgate. Edmonton Lodge No. 7 is also a major contributor to the Masonic Higher Education Bursary Fund — second only to the Alberta Government in the number and value of scholarships granted for higher education in this province.
Get in Touch
“Freemasonry is: Kindness in the home, honesty in business, courtesy in society, fairness in work, resistance toward the wicked, pity and concern for the unfortunate, help for the weak, trust in the strong, forgiveness for the penitent and, above all, love for one another and reverence and love for God. Freemasonry is a way of life.”The Grand Lodge of Alberta, A.F. & A.M.
A Fraternity Built on Timeless Principles
Freemasonry is a way of life. It is fraternal in organization, religious in character, and based on the belief in a Supreme Being, the brotherhood of man, and the immortality of the soul. It is not a secret society — it is a voluntary association of men who come of their own free will, seeking to make good men better.
Charitable
Devoted to the welfare and happiness of mankind.
Benevolent
Teaches that the good of others is of primary concern.
Educational
Its ceremonials teach a system of morality and brotherhood based upon Sacred Law.
Religious
Acknowledges a caring Deity; reverence for a Supreme Being is ever present in all meetings.
Social
Encourages men to meet together for fellowship, education, and charity.
Universal
Built upon principles on which men of every race, country, sect, and opinion may unite.
We Meet Every Second & Fourth Tuesday
Refreshments
The evening begins informally over refreshments. It is a chance to meet the brethren, ask questions, and feel at home before the formal meeting begins.
Dinner
A sit-down dinner is shared by members and guests. Masonic tradition places great value on fellowship at the table — it is where much of the real brotherhood is built.
Lodge Tyles
The formal Lodge meeting opens after dinner. Candidates, degree work, and Lodge business are conducted according to the Ancient York Rite.
September Through June
We meet throughout the academic year, from September to June, at Freemasons’ Hall — 10318 100th Avenue NW, Edmonton, Alberta.

Explore the Wider Craft
The Door Is Open to You
The simplest way to become a Freemason is to ask one. If you know a Freemason, he will be glad to share the details and requirements of the Craft with you personally. If you don’t — that is what this form is for.
We welcome men of good character who believe in a Supreme Being, who are willing to take their obligations seriously, and who seek to live by the principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. There is no pressure and no obligation. Simply reach out.
