Calgary Shriners

Can my family participate?

Category: FAQs

Shriners chapters are broadening their base by providing unique opportunities for families. Chapters host Easter Egg Hunts, Grey Cup watch parties and other events, which are not only family-friendly, but also cater to heightened family involvement. 
 
Women play an important role in chapter life as well, with many opportunities for involvement through these ladies’ organizations: Daughters of the Nile, the Ladies’ Oriental Shrine of North America, Shrine Guilds of America and the Order of the Eastern Star. 
 
Young men between the ages of 12 and 21 may participate in activities hosted by DeMolay International, a fraternal organization founded by a Shriner-Mason, which is mainly sponsored by Freemasonry. 
 
Young ladies may participate in activities hosted by Job’s Daughters International (ages 10 to 20) or the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls (age 11 to 20).
