RESEARCH
The Library & Museum of Freemasonry
Many people have heard of freemasonry. Most have no idea what it actually involves. At the Museum of Freemasonry, the goal is to help you learn about freemasonry in all its cultural richness. If you’re a freemason, the museum is a treasure trove for exploration. If you’re not a freemason, it’s the perfect place to visit and discover what freemasonry is all about. Exhibitions and events illuminate the history of freemasonry, explore its traditions and values, and reveal its significance through the ages and around the world.
Quatuor Coronati
QCCC is an international Masonic research community. Members receive a copy of AQC – our Transactions, which contains papers delivered in Lodge, ancillary papers, and ‘Notes & Queries’. They also benefit from prior access to research papers; invitations to seminars and conferences; discounts on Masonic books and regalia; and assistance with research.
CLUBS/SOCIETIES

Its main objective is to enhance Masonic fraternity among those who play golf and who wish to compete amongst themselves at various venues in the Province.
