Alberta DeMolay Association Workshop April 10, 11, 12 - 2026

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.

Bunk houses
