Message from Edward Crosier My name is Edward Crosier, I am the Worshipful Master of The Beaches Lodge # 473 G.R.C Toronto East District for the 2008-2009 Masonic year, I would like to thank you for visiting our site.

This web site was developed to explain to visitors what Freemasonry is all about, I would welcome you to check out the entire site, each page has interesting information about Freemasonry.

Freemasonry does not recruit, you need to ask a Mason to be a Mason. Freemasonry is the most ancient fraternity in the world, Most of our traditions are past down through the generations, some dating back to Egyptian era. The Modern Freemasonry dates back to 1717 when the Grand Lodge of England formed.

Freemasons are of high moral values, they believe in brotherly love, relief and truth, we learn how to improve ourselves with public speaking, self confidence and how to conquer our weaknesses.  We have a large variety of cultures, occupations and social classes in our membership, bur when we are at lodge meetings we are all equal, meeting on the level.

Freemasons do a lot of charity work in the community, from fundraising to picking up litter.  We are constantly busy in your community.  A potentially interested person who wants to join should be of high morals, strong character and a desire to improve himself overall.

He should be 21 years old, and believe in a supreme being (God), does not matter what religious background but a belief in a more superior being than yourself. 

If you are interested in receiving more information or interested in becoming a member of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, please feel free to leave your contact information and one of our members will contact you shortly.  Thank you again for visiting our site.

Sincerely & Fraternally,
W. Bro. Edward Crosier
Master of the Beaches Lodge, #473 G.R.C
