April 5 – Re-Consecration of Eheyeh Chapter No. 27

I arrived to Drumheller Masonic Hall at 11:30 am and met VEC Doug Wade coming out. He asked me to deliver to Mrs. Michelle Durnie (2) packages at the which I did. 

Mrs. Michelle Durnie hosted a lunch for ladies at the Badlands Community Facility (BCF) while the Companions of Eheyeh Chapter no. 27, visitors and Grand Chapter Officers met at Masonic Hall.  

The Chapter Tyled at 1:00 pm and the G1P was brought  in in Form with entourage consisting of, MECs David Boone, Jerry Kopp, Norm Downs, Keng Wei Chiew & James Carswell, RECs Kurtis Frederick, Brad Edstrom,Robert Cantwell, Peter Roger, Wade Hunt, VECs Terry Murray, Doug Wade, Don Anderson, Gordon Morck, Wayne Parry and REC Larry Watson who was sitting on the side line.  

The Chapter Opened and immediately the Ceremony of Re-Consecration was put on by Mainly Grand Chapter Officers with the exception of the Opening prayer which performed by Ex. Comp. Paul Caples. 

I must congratulate and thank all Grand Chapter Officers for executing a very successful Re-Consecration Ceremony and a special thanks to VEC Terry Murray for ensuring that the necessary articles to the Re-Consecration Ceremony were present and forming the procession according to plan.  

In the end it was beautifully executed and the Companions of Eheyeh Chapter were Rededicated for the next (100) years of Capitular Masonry. 

Congratulations to Eheyeh Chapter No. 27 for hosting a very successful and enjoyable Centennial celebration. 

One thing that stood out amid all the excitement and joy of this event was that VEC Doug Wade has been First Principal of his beloved Chapter (13) times!  I cannot recall anyone in Masonry being WM of his Lodge or First Principal of his Chapter that many times!  

It demonstrates desire, character and dedication of one man to keep his Chapter successful.
