Welcome to Canopy Lodge No. 290

Building the character of our members,
not to make them better than others,
but better than themselves.

Since 1870

Our Mission

Our Mission is guided by the enduring and relevant tenets of our fraternity -- Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth -- and our core values, which include:
  • Ethics
    Our lives are based on honor and integrity, and we believe that honesty, compassion, trust, and knowledge are important.

  • Tolerance
    The fraternity values religious, ethnic, cultural, social, and educational differences. We respect the opinions of others and strive to improve and develop as human beings.

  • Personal growth
    Our continuous pursuit of knowledge, ethics, spirituality, and leadership brings more meaning to our lives.

  • Philanthropy
    We make a difference in our communities through charitable giving, community service, and volunteerism.

  • Family
    We strive to be better spouses, parents, and family members and are committed to protecting the well being of members and their families, especially when they are in need.

  • Freedom
    Masons value the liberties outlined in the U.S. Constitution and continually promote freedom of speech and expression, freedom to worship a Supreme Being in an individual way, and other important liberties. We believe it is our duty to vote in public elections and to exercise all of our liberties within due and proper bounds.
