ANNOUNCEMENT: District Realignment – All-Canadian District – Lodges in AB, BC & SK = District 7

This means that District 4 lodges located in Canada will become part of District 7 by November 1, 2025. Your lodge name will not change, and your lodge number will remain the same, only a new district prefix will be assigned.”
As we progress with this realignment to a new zone, #5, and a new district, #7, we will keep you up to date. We continue to bring you Norwegian culture in our traditional ways since 1913!
