On August 5th of this year Harmony lodge will celebrate its 110th birthday, as it was duly consecrated on August 5th, 1903 by the Grand Master, M.W. Bro. Rev.C. Ensor-Sharpe who was assisted by six other Grand Lodge Officers. Since that time Harmony Lodge has maintained an average membership of seventy.
From their history page:
"The first Lodge room was in Chapple Hall, which stood just to the North of the old Gazette office and present Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. This hall was destroyed by fire in 1908 and thus Harmony Lodge moved its meeting place to Averill Hall which then stood across from the present site of Johnny's Motor Court. The ground floor of those premises was a stable and our records indicate the difficulties of conducting the work of the Lodge to the accompaniment of the noise and odours from below.
Within a year the Lodge had moved its meeting place once more, this time to the Bonthron Hall; in 1952 the Lodge moved to the Davis Block. In 1972, after seventy years of moving and renting , the Brethren decided to purchase the I.O.O.F. Hall as a permanent home for our Lodge .Following extensive renovations, the first communication was held at this location on January 3rd, 1973."
