Hi Shannah, I did a Google search on the meaning of the Masonic Lodges and got loads of hits. Try this one: http://www.stjameslodge47.org/freemasonry.htm It is just one of the many sites that explain what the Masonic Lodge is all about, though there are many others including a few on Kaslo, if you put "Kaslo" into your Google query. Cheers, Bridget in B.C.
