It promises to be a busy 2020 in Delta. The Optimist is taking a look at 20 significant issues or events that are scheduled to play out in the coming 12 months.
Here is one of them:
Ancient Light Masonic Lodge
Founded in 1920 by a group of Ladner businessmen and farmers, the Ancient Light Masonic Lodge will be celebrating its centennial in 2020. Ladner pioneer Thomas Ladner was one of the founding Brothers of Ancient Light 88 in 1920. Several Ladner and Westham Island streets are named after early members of Ancient Light Lodge, whose membership over time included former mayors, Delta police and RCMP officers, community leaders and the original publishers of the Delta Optimist. The Freemasons continue to meet regularly in the same Delta Street building they have called home for a century. They plan to hold a public event later this year to celebrate the milestone anniversary.
