Norwood Chapter #18 Royal Arch Masonry

Norwood Chapter (Royal Arch Masonry) is a unique alternative for Master Masons who are looking for something special to join. We are the 1st European Concept Royal Arch Chapter in North America. We are located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and meet on the 4th Tuesday of February, April, June, and October at 19:00hrs for our Business meeting and 19:30hrs for either Education or a Degree.

A festive board is always conducted after each of our meetings at a local Restaurant. We welcome any Royal Arch Mason who has time to visit our Chapter. We value our visitors and welcome them wholeheartedly into Chapter. The Chapter meets at Acacia Hall, located at 10433 83rd Avenue deep in the heart of Edmonton's historic Whyte Avenue district.

Candidates for these ancient and profound Degrees, and all Chapter Members, must embrace our ten basic principles. You must have a love of Excellent Ritual, Education, and Fellowship. We are unique, and are working very hard to earn a high level of commitment from our membership. Part of the Leadership we teach and learn within Chapter is to give back; both to the Chapter and to the Craft Lodge in which we were raised and that we are duty bound to support.
