OUR HISTORY

The Royal Purple of Canada was founded on September 11,1914 and was incorporated under a special Dominion of Canada Charter with the Elks of Canada.  The first lodge was set up in Vancouver, B.C.   Working diligently to develop the organization across Canada, Alice Morrow became the first Supreme Honoured Royal Lady (National President).

Since inception, the Royal Purple of Canada has grown to over 200 Lodges and 7,000 Members.  Membership means you will receive a warm welcome when visiting any Lodge, a network of friends that you can tap into anywhere in Canada.  Extending this network further is our partner Organization, the Elks of Canada.   

The Members of Royal Purple of Canada focus primarily on the promotion and support of community needs across Canada through Local and National programs.  Some of these programs include:
