Pacific Lodge No. 16
What We Do
At Pacific Lodge No. 16, our endeavours are guided by timeless principles, fostering a community of integrity, intellectual curiosity, and profound mutual support. We build better men to build a better world.
01 — Fellowship
Fellowship and Brotherhood
The lodge is a supportive and welcoming environment where men build lasting relationships grounded in mutual respect and shared values. Regular meetings, social events, and shared experiences create bonds that extend well beyond the lodge room.
Members share knowledge, support one another through life’s challenges, and grow together as individuals and as a community. The friendships formed at Pacific Lodge No. 16 are among the most valued aspects of Masonic membership.
Fellowship is at the heart of freemasonry
From the formality of lodge meetings to the warmth of a meal together, brotherhood is what makes our lodge a second home for so many members.
learning in action
Freemasonry provides a structured path of learning and reflection — through ritual, discussion, and example — that encourages members to be their best selves.
02 — Education
Education and Personal Growth
Masonic ritual and ceremony serve as vehicles for moral instruction and personal reflection. Each degree ceremony invites members to contemplate core values: integrity, compassion, and service to others.
Lodge discussions, workshops, and educational programmes explore ethics, leadership, civic responsibility, and the philosophical principles at the foundation of Freemasonry. Members are encouraged to ask questions, seek understanding, and share their insights.
Cultivating the mind and polishing the ashlar.
03 — Community
Community Service and Charitable Work
Giving back to the community is one of the most visible expressions of Masonic values. Pacific Lodge No. 16 participates in charitable initiatives, educational programmes, and community events throughout the wider Fraser Valley.
Our members have supported scholarships, charity drives, fundraising campaigns, food banks, and local volunteer projects. Service is not an obligation for us — it is a privilege.
Quiet deeds of profound impact.

take the first step
The best way to understand what we do is to meet our members. Attend an event, contact us with a question, or simply read on — there’s no pressure and no obligation.
04 — Heritage
Preserving Tradition and Heritage
Pacific Lodge No. 16 preserves centuries-old Masonic traditions through its rituals, ceremonies, and lodge practices. These forms have been carefully handed down through generations, carrying with them a depth of meaning that connects each member to a global fraternal heritage.
Tradition is not rigidity — it is continuity. The forms we observe today link us to the men who founded this lodge in 1891 and to Freemasons around the world who share the same values and symbols.
Guardians of ancient landmarks.
