A great artist we've heard a few times in TF.

With recent (hourly in some cases) updates on the COVID-19 or coronavirus and in light of the concern for the safety and well being of our members and expected visitors the WM and WM-Elect have requested we cancel our March meeting. This morning we have received the attached letter from our Grand Master reiterating the safety of our members is of utmost importance. Brethren, we cannot over state that the safety of our members is paramount and falls ultimately upon the shou...lders of our WM. There are too many unknown's regarding the rapid spread of this virus at this time. Developments within the last 72 hours have lead our WM to postpone our lodge meeting. We will continue to monitor the situation and it would be the WM's hope that an alternate date be requested from Grand Lodge for our Installation when most appropriate. The following links contained within the Grand Master's letter are helpful and describe more of the current status of this situation: https://www.cdc.gov//specific/high-risk-complications.html https://www.ontario.ca/page/2019-novel-coronavirus. https://www.who.int//who-director-general-s-opening-remark If you should have any questions or comments please feel free to reach out.

Initiation of Bro Connor McDonald, the WM's son, into Maple Leaf No 119, Feb 10th, 2020.

*MEETING CANCELLED* Ceremony of Installation & Investiture. A Message from our Worshipful Master: Brethren, I am seeing increased notices and travel alerts this morning for tomorrow. I’m afraid that with something now approaching 30cm of snow forecasted through the afternoon and evening tomorrow and winds over 50km/h, that travel conditions in those circumstances are well beyond the threshold of risk than I am willing to ask of our members, guest speaker, and visitors. I am ...therefore, regrettably cancelling the meeting for tomorrow and I wish you all a safe and happy weekend. -V.W. Bro. Graeme McDonald, Worshipful Master, Templum Fidelis Lodge Our Ceremony of Installation & Investiture will now take place on March 21, 2020 at 4:00pm
