Companions. This will probably be my last update to this page as Grand Superintendent as the time is fast approaching when there will be a new team with a new Grand Superintendent. I would wish my successor a happy term in office. I have had a wonderful five years as Grand Superintendent and I would thank all the chapters for not only their generous hospitality but for the way they all apply themselves to Royal Arch Freemasonry. This truly is a wonderful province.

I would like to thank all the chapters for the courtesy and kindness afforded to our Provincial deputations over the past five years.  I would again congratulate the chapters on the work which was put in at their installations.

We have ten new First Principals in the province this year which is even better than last year. I wish them well during the year and it would be nice to see them attend our Provincial Convocations to represent their chapters.

We have again had representation from Supreme both at chapter convocations and our provincial convocation in the person of the Third Grand Principal MEC George Alexander. It is very gratifying to see that Supreme continue to take an active interest in all the daughter provinces.

 Now that the Provincial Installation is past I would like to congratulate all the office bearers. In particular to those who are taking office for the first time. I also thank our Provincial Grand H for installing the office bearers. I am looking forward to working with you all during the coming year.

The calendars will soon be out with the teams and dates for the visits and there also a copy of the teams on this website. Could I encourage you all to support your visiting teams as this is the face of Provincial that most chapters and councils see.

In closing I would like to wish you and your families a very happy Christmas and an enjoyable New Year and hope to see you all in the New Year.
