Charity
Charity is a corner stone of Freemasonry and is an important aspect of this Lodge.
Endeavour History Scholarship
In conjunction with the Canterbury History Teachers Association the Lodge of Endeavour has created a University Scholarship valued at $1,000 and open to all students in Canterbury. The Scholarship is to be allocated yearly to a worth student based on an essay competition using material submitted for assesment.
All essays submitted to the competition are published in an annual Endeavour History Book which will form a growing collection of work by students throughout Canterbury.
Interested students should contact their CHTA Teacher for more details or email (using Logo to the right) to confirm interest.
General
Benevolence through support for the Freemasons New Zealand Charity, the Canterbury Masonic Charitable Trust, and the Lodge’s own trust fund, form an important part of every member’s contribution.
Using its own Trust fund, the Lodge seeks to support higher education through the encouragement of excellence at senior college level.
Additionally, the Lodge will give support for education in lectures at suitable
Lodge meetings where the emphasis will be on New Zealand pioneer
endeavours, emphasising Canterbury History, Antarctic and advanced
