Welcome to the Georgian South District Masonic Website

R.W. Bro. Barry J. Goodyear

Welcome to the Georgian South Masons’ website. Please take some time to explore our pages, and if your curiosity about our gentle craft inspires you, I encourage you to reach out using the contact information below or the Contact Us form provided.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Brethren of Georgian South District for their ongoing support throughout my travels and involvement within our district and beyond. I am deeply honored by the confidence you have placed in me as I serve as District Deputy Grand Master for the 2025–2026 Masonic year. I pledge to fulfill my duties faithfully and look forward to a rewarding and meaningful year for us all.

This year, I will continue to uphold and promote the Grand Master’s objectives of Ritual, Education, and Mentorship (REM). I am also proud to once again support one of the highlights of our calendar, another great Day of Masonry, hosted by the Georgian North and South Districts, to be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Barrie Masonic Temple.

In alignment with the Grand Master’s vision of greater community awareness and involvement, I have established an Engagement and Support Committee. This group will assist in promoting Masonry within our community, strengthening lodge participation, enhancing fellowship, and extending our involvement to include families and friends.

Our District Project this year will focus on supporting Autism Ontario in Simcoe County, specifically programs for children and youth. This cause is especially meaningful to me, as my granddaughter is on the spectrum, and I know firsthand the challenges families face in accessing the resources and support their children’s need.

I look forward to an exciting year ahead and to the opportunity of meeting with as many of you as possible in lodge, at our special events, and at upcoming ceremonies, as we work together to strengthen Masonry in Georgian South District.

Sincerely and fraternally,
R.W. Bro. Barry J. Goodyear
