THE TRAVELING SQUARE
The traveling square has been a tradition for many years in Algoma District. The intent is visitation and education. The Lodge possessing the traveling square prepares a presentation, then presents it at a regular meeting of the Lodge accepting it. The square and a copy of the presentation is left with the Lodge for the following presentation. The Traveling Square was first presented to Superior Lodge # 672 in Trust for the Algoma District of the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario on March 12, 1958. It has traveled to many Lodges over the years. A copy of each lecture delivered over the years is files in the companion note book for future reference. The traveling square was made of hard material, highly polished, yet unadorned. It was made of hard material to emphasize that the knowledge imparted over the square be as durable as the square itself. The high polish emphasizes the shining beauty of Truth and the unadorned surface symbolizes the clean sheet to lay out lines and ideas.
