  On Behalf of my family and I, we wish you well, as we have come through the Festive Season and embark on the New Year and continue through this Masonic Year.

 Our goals for the remainder of the Masonic Year are continuing to be obtained through all of the visitations to the Lodges of the District, for Installations and Official Visits. It is an honour to be greeted by the warm hand of fellowship at all Lodges within and outside the Ontario District.

 In the upcoming months on top of our District duties we have the Black Tie Gala on Saturday March 8^th, 2008 to raise money for the District Project "The Charles H. Best Centre for Diabetic Youth & Children", as well as The Grand Master's Reception honouring M.W. Bro. Allan J. Petrisor on Friday, May 2^nd, 2008. The District Web-Site is available to you through Bro. Joe Johnson to announce District Events such as "Friend to Friend", "Brother to Brother" or "Masonic Education".

 We should not forget the Masonic Ornaments of Charity and Benevolence as we support our Lodges, Ontario District and Grand Lodge and any commitment is thankfully received and faithfully applied.

 Finally Brethren I hope see the visitation at Installations & Official Visits continue to grow in Ontario District.
