Welcome to the Toronto Don Valley district website. As the representative of the Grand Master in this vibrant district, I am humbled by your support and enthusiasm which is clearly growing among our 21 lodges for our gentle craft. The honour, pride and conviction for Freemasonry is
within us all.

I have been a mason since 2012. My father introduced me to the fraternity. His journey has been an inspiration to me in countless ways. It is with a deep sense of pride and conviction that I now step into this new and exciting role as the District Deputy Grand Master. Although only a 1year term, this experience will be with me forever.

The team of committee chairs this year, and their new roles and responsibilities have been carefully chosen from many lodges throughout our district. It is with a great sense of duty that I wish to ensure we provide you with a year of inspiration, motivation and solemn heartfelt appreciation. Kindness is a hallmark of our fraternity as is construction. We are all builders. We look forward to being part of your build. We hope you will join us this year as we visit all the lodges. Come enjoy that true privilege of Freemasonry; visitation. Here’s wishing each and everyone of you a renewed sense of energy, curiosity, and most of all brotherly love for a truly wonderful masonic year.

District Deputy Grand Master 2026-2027
