Seven of eight active DeMolay members of the Saskatchewan chapter attended the workshop. There were participants from chapters in Cold Lake, Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. It was a fun filled weekend at Birch Bay Ranch located about 25 minutes from Sherwood Park, Alberta.  Along with activities for the DeMolay youth, there were break out sessions for the adult advisors. Inter- provincial meetings like this provide an excellent time to learn from other chapters. A highlight for our Saskatchewan Chapter was the election of our officers. Liam and Kevin ran a very informative and efficient election, guiding our DeMolay members to a successful result. We anticipate having an installation ceremony in May , 2026.

Saskatoon and District Labour Council Annual General Meeting

On Friday, February 6, 2026, DeMolay assisted Job's  Daughters at the Masonic Temple. Job's invited DeMolay to help out at the Saskatoon and District Labour Council annual general meeting. DeMolay was  required to clear the banquet tables after the evening meal. Following that, they reset the tables for the second day of the meeting.  DeMolay had two adults and two DeMolay work at this event. Turns out it was easy work though because Job's Daughters had many workers too! And to make the event even better, DeMolay will be paid a small amount for helping out!

 A regular meeting was held in the Chapter Room.  Chael presented a DeMolay t shirt to our newest member, Raphaël. The following were topics of discussion: -Current membership status and prospective candidates. -Future social events such as a visit to the trampoline center and a bowling event which would include Job's Daughters. -The proposed timeline to have our newest members receive the Initiatory degree and the DeMolay degree. We are hoping that the Alberta DeMolay Association will come to Saskatoon in February or March for the Initiatory degree. This could be followed in April with the DeMolay degree at the ADA spring workshop.
