Companions

It is with heavy heart that I report that

MIC Leif Hansen

Grand Master of the Grand Council of Cryptic Rite Masons of Western Canada

has passed to the Grand Lodge above within the last couple of hours. This is certainly sad, as Freemasonry has lost a great ambassador, a true and faithful Brother & Companion. May his legacy continue to bring about the strength of commitment and dedication which he so warmly shared with each of us in our journey to the future, he certainly was a strong believer in Freemasonry.

Rest in Peace Leif.

March 28,1936 – July 9, 2025
