As it happens with all that is good in life, the Season 1 of the Candidate Zoom Series came to an end in May 2021.
This initiative started with the idea of offering candidates and potential candidates of the Lodges in our district (Ottawa District 1) a space to meet and greet Freemasons while receiving first hand valuable information from notable members of our fraternity. A goal that was reached with great success.
The series consisted of 8 live meetings delivered through Zoom, where the candidates were able to introduce themselves, chat with the attending Freemasons, ask questions and being part of the comradery that characterize our organization.
The presentations of each meeting covered a diverse range of topics which we consider are of interest to all those who aim to learn more of what Freemasonry is about.
All the presentations were recorded and are now part of our media library and published in our YouTube channel. But for convenience of those looking to consult their content, they are listed in this post.
If you were part of these events, we hope you enjoyed the meetings in their most ample sense. And if you were not, we invite you to watch the videos and joining us for the Season 2 that will start during the fall 2021. We also hope that the material compiled gives you perspective of what is expected from a men when they join our fraternity, and what those joiners can expect from it.
Sincerely,
The organizing committee
