The 2nd Annual Inter-Provincial Third Degree (Canadian Rite) will be held Saturday, 24 January
2009 at the Medicine Hat Freemasons Hall with Swift Current Lodge visiting. The lodge will tyle
at 1:00 pm. The Grand Master will be in attendance.
In the evening, a full Burns' Supper is being held at the Medicine Hat Lodge (Hotel) with tickets
at $55.00 of a table of eight for $400.00.
Our host hotel for the Burns Dinner, also on 24 January 2009 will be the Callaghan Inn located
at 954-7th Street SW, Medicine Hat. We have special rates for those travelling in and need a
room. The rate is $75.00 plus tax. Those interested can also stay Friday, 23 January 2009 at
the same rate. Those interested should call 1-800-661-4440 or (403) 527-8844 and refer to the
Burns Night Package. Note this hotel is very close to the lodge so this should make attendance
at the various functions go a little easier.
On the Sunday, the Grand Master will be unveiling a bust of Robert Burns at the Medicine Hat
College. This is a project of the Freemasons of Medicine Hat. They are still looking for lodge
support for this 250th Anniversary Burns Bust Project, so if any individual or Lodge wishes to
contribute to this venture, they are most welcome to do so.
Interested in sponsoring, tickets or holding a table can call Ken Montgomery at (403) 580-5080
