Forty years
on the water.

Comox Lodge No. 188 was granted dispensation in 1986 and warranted the year after, making us one of the newer lodges on Vancouver Island. The founders were fishermen, soldiers, aviators, and a schoolmaster — men who built the lodge that now meets in Courtenay.

We meet the second and fourth* Tuesday of each month. The work is serious; the food, before, is not. Visitors and members alike are expected at 7:30 in tie and jacket.

(*fourth Tuesday is as needed)
