Biographical history
On St. John's Day, December 27, 1901, at a general meeting, it was decided to apply for a dispensation from the Grand Lodge of Manitoba to form the first masonic lodge in Whitehorse. A dispensation was granted on March 5, 1902 and at that time an amount of $300 was advanced by twelve Brethren for the purchase of furnishings and needed supplies. The first Principal Officers were Dr. N.J. Lindsay, W. Master; R.D. Pinneo, Senior Warden; and C.W. Pennefather, Junior Warden. On June 11, 1903, a Charter was issued by the Grand Lodge of Manitoba to Whitehorse Lodge No. 81. On June 16, 1907, Whitehorse Lodge successfully petitioned the Grand Lodge of British Columbia and became known in this jurisdiction as Whitehorse Lodge No. 46. On September 18, 1967, the lodge moved into its new building located at 505 Lambert Street and has been mortgage-free since 1975.
