Welcome to the home of Kilwinning Lodge No. 565! We are located at 151 Annette St., in Toronto, Ont., and I am the current "Worshipful Master" of the Lodge, W. Bro. Christopher R. Mason.  This is a historically "Scottish" flavour Lodge, and we have been blessed with a strong connection to the even more historic Kilwinning No. 0 of Scotland, with whom we share the same coat of arms, or crest, with their permission.  And yet even with this strong Scottish flavour permeating most of our Lodge activities, over the years we have Initiated, Passed, and Raised members from around the globe, as all men who believe in God and accept the Grand Principles of Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth are considered worthy applicants, regardless of race, colour, creed or custom.  So if this sounds like something you would like to investigate further, feel free to contact us through this website, or just drop by the Lodge on the first Monday or third Friday of the month (excluding the summer) at 7:00 pm or so.  There is a strong misconception that you have to be asked in order to join; whereas we have always preached that in order "to be one", you have to "ask one".  I first made contact with the Lodge over the Internet almost seven years ago. Here it is seven years later and I'm running the show.  So if you have been seeking a way into Masonry, you have just found it; if you ask to join, you shall be answered; and if you knock at our doors, you shall be received in accordance with established usages and customs of this truly Ancient and Honourable society.
