History
The inaugural meeting of the Glengarry Camp took place on December 10, 1937, and the Camp was officially instituted on December 13, 1937. Out of eighty-three applicants, sixty-seven new members were initiated. Worthy Chief was Mathew Grindley, and John Maclean was the Chieftain. The Camp met monthly at the I.O.O.F. Hall on Hastings Street at Kamloops Street. As of 1944, the initiation fee for active and honorary members was two dollars, and the quarterly fee for active members was one dollar and five cents. In May 1975, the Camp began holding joint meetings with the Montrose Camp. Executive positions were shared between the two camps. The camps continued to hold joint meetings until the Montrose Camp was disbanded on May 31, 1981, and approximately sixty Montrose members were integrated into the Glengarry Camp. As of 2004, the Camp continues to meet monthly, at the I.O.O.F. Hall at 7728 Edmonds St. in Burnaby.
