Cryptic Masonry, consisting of Royal Master, Select Master and Super Excellent Master Degrees, is the Masonry of preservation. It teaches that the immortal truths of life will never be destroyed; that the approach of disorder and destruction will cause the Craft to deposit these great truths in a safe and secure place where they will be preserved; and, although forgotten and lost for a time, they are kept for future discovery and use of the Craft. Cryptic Masonry is the Alpha and Omega of Ancient Craft Masonry.
COVID-19: Update
Companions:
Subsequent to my announcement of March 14, 2020 and due to the continuing spread of the Covid – 19 virus, I hereby inform you that the 153rd Annual Assembly of the Supreme Grand Council of the Eastern Jurisdiction of Canada Royal and Select Masters scheduled for April 30 – May 2, 2020 has been cancelled.
The 153rd Annual Assembly will now be held at Truro, NS on May 6 – 8, 2021. All present Grand Council Officers will remain in office until the above noted Annual Assembly in 2021. (If any Grand Officer has difficulty with this contact the MPGM). Companions elected and or nominated and scheduled to be installed in 2020 will be installed in 2021. No further nominations will be accepted.
It is further directed that:
Companions, these directives are consistent with those issued by other Masonic Jurisdictions, I am aware that they are rather abnormal, but we are living in abnormal times. The decisions have been made after much soul searching and with due concern for the well being of our fellow Companions. Stay safe and follow the guidelines of your respective Health Authorities.
Fraternally & Respectfully;
Aubrey (Bill) Stevens, MPGM

RE: COVID-19
Companions,
In light of the changing status and evolving nature of COVID-19 spread in Canada and after due consultation and in keeping with the actions taken by several national Masonic bodies I deem it necessary to cancel all Cryptic Rite meetings (Including the Grand Assembly), activities and social events (other than those conducted by teleconferencing).
This directive is to become effective immediately and continue for the foreseeable future.
I realize this may cause some difficulties, however, the well being of our membership must be our primary concern.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide future updates as appropriate.
Fraternally and Respectfully,
Aubrey (Bill) Stevens, MPGM
