Program Pamphlet

The Masons in the Province of Ontario have long held a commitment to children, their families and our community.  The MasoniCh.I.P. Program is the most comprehensive and fully confidential child identification program available.  It is designed to give families a measure of protection against the ever-increasing issue of missing children.  According to data released by Canada’s “Our Missing Children” website, and Ontario Child Find, every year over 60,000 Canadian children are reported missing with Ontario having the highest proportion per capita at nearly 20,000.   This valuable service is offered to Ontario families by Masons, and has worked effectively in excess of twenty states in the United States for many years.
