An Invitation to the Ladies

Greetings Ladies:

On behalf of the Manitoba Grand Line ladies, I am very pleased to invite you to the 2014 Grand Lodge of Manitoba Annual Communication in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  With approximately 675,000 residents, Winnipeg is one of Canada's largest urban centres, and is located at the junction of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers.

Winnipeg is also one of Canada's greener cities. This is evident throughout our city with Elm trees that line the streets of many older residential areas. Winnipeg's suburbs are also dotted with parks and green spaces. Large parks such as Assiniboine Park, Kildonan Park and St. Vital Park have been preserved for recreational use by visitors and residents alike.

In your spare time you may wish to explore some places of interest, such as the Winnipeg Art Gallery, our Museums, or shopping and dining at The Forks, to mention only a few.  For those of you who are interested in shopping, Polo Park Mall is in close proximity to the event Hotel as well.

The Winnipeg Art Gallery is a public art gallery that was founded in 1912. It is Canada's oldest civic gallery and the 6th largest in the country.

The Manitoba Museum in downtown Winnipeg is one of the finest history museums in North America. The venue houses many displays that depict such scenes as an early native settlement. The Museum also has on indoor display, a full size ship which is a replica of the original HMS Nonsuch.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the first National Museum outside of the Ottawa area,  is envisioned to be a national and international destination, a centre of learning where Canadians and people from around the world can reflect and be inspired about human rights. The building is substantially complete and we are looking forward to its Inauguration which is scheduled to take place in 2014.

The Forks is an historic site, meeting place and green space in Downtown Winnipeg located at the confluence of the Red River and Assiniboine River.

Old Market Square, Osborne Village and the Corydon Avenue Strip all offer an interesting and unique combination of upscale specialty shops, dining, and nightspots. Just down the street from our main Masonic Temple, Corydon Avenue is famous for its many outdoor patios and trendy atmosphere. Old Market square plays host to music and theatre acts during the summer.

Whether lounging or playing in one of Winnipeg's many beautiful parks, taking a stroll through the city's world-class zoo, enjoying the fine dining and entertainment, catching a professional sports team or a game of golf, attending one of the many festivals or events, or taking a leisurely cruise down one of the city's scenic waterways, Winnipeg has something to offer everyone.

All of the events for the 139th Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba A.F. & A.M. will be held at the Hilton Winnipeg Airport Suites, 1800 Wellington Ave, Winnipeg, which will allow time for great shopping and sightseeing!

The 2014 Grand Lodge of Manitoba Annual Communication will kick off on Thursday, June 5th, 2014 with the Grand Master's Banquet being open to everyone to renew former acquaintances and to make new friends.  Friday morning, June 6th, 2014, will begin with the Grand Lodge Public Opening Ceremony and once again all are welcome to attend.  We are also planning a Ladies' program and luncheon during the day on Friday, June 6th, 2014 and in the evening we will enjoy the Grand Lodge Banquet.  The open installation of Officers will be held on Saturday, June 7th, 2014 and I certainly look forward to seeing you there.

See you in June in Winnipeg!

Valerie Webster
