How is the Scottish Rite Governed in Canada?
By a Supreme Council composed of all Past Sovereign Grand
Commanders, all Active Members (not exceeding 33 in number) and all
Past Active Members (without a vote). This group determines the
policies of the Subordinate Bodies. Associated with it are a number
of Honorary Members limited to one for every fifty members of the
Rite in the Jurisdiction of a Province or group of Provinces. These
men have been so honoured because of their contributions of services
to Scottish Rite and to their country, their church or society.
