"Keeping Ontario Beautiful" 

 

The Englehart & District Horticultural Society was formed in 1956. Some flowers could not last to be displayed and exhibited in the Englehart Fall Fair. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan cut their flowers and displayed them in their home and invited their friends to come spend 'an evening with the blooms'. The group showed great enthusiasm for possibly forming a show for flowers only. The first meeting was held February 13, 1956 in the Town Hall under the chairmanship of Mr. C Byam of New Liskeard who had been authorized by the Ontario Horticultural Association to organize a branch in Englehart. Mr. Byam pointed out that the aims of the society were to improve home and public grounds, to interest young people in horticulture, to hold exhibitions, to distribute seeds, plants etc. and to promote the knowledge of horticulture.

"Friendship, Love & Truth"

 

The Northern Beacon Rebekah Lodge was instituted at Englehart on November 17, 1920 having one of the largest organizations in town at that time. The Rebekah Lodge had continuous active service within the community.

The Northern Beacon Rebekah Lodge is a district organization of The International Association of Rebekah Assemblies. In 17th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and of pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind. Those who belonged to such an organization were called 'Odd Fellows'. Odd Fellows are also known as 'The Three Link Fraternity' which stands for Friendship, Love and Truth.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded on the North American Continent in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 26, 1819 when Thomas Wildey and four members of the Order from England instituted Washington Lodge No. 1. This lodge received its charter from Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows in England.

Odd Fellowship became the 1st national fraternity to include both men and women when it adopted the beautiful Rebekah Degree on September 20, 1851. This degree is based on the teachings found in the Holy Bible, and was written by the Honorable Schuyler Colfax who was Vice President of the United States during the period 1868-1873. Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were also the first fraternal organization to establish homes for our senior members and for orphaned children.
