Orange Lodges were first established in Canada in 1812, and by the mid 19th century the Order had lodges
in most of the cities and provinces. The Order was active in the suppression of rebellions against the British
administration and also participated in the resistance of the Fenian raid into Canada. Over 80,000 members of
the Order in Canada volunteered for service in World War I. The Order was very influential in Canadian business
and politics and four Orangemen have been Prime Ministers of Canada - Sir John A. Macdonald, the father of
Canadian Confederation, Sir John Abbott, Sir Mackenzie Bowell (a past Grand Master), and John Diefenbaker.
