“THERE WAS A YOUNG MAN WHO HAD JUST BEGUN,
HE WAS A WILLING WORKER AND A WIDOW'S SON,
HE WAS RAISED ON THE LEVEL AND DIED ON THE SQUARE,
WAS BURIED IN THE HILLS AND ONLY THREE KNEW WHERE”
The Widows Sons Masonic Motorcycle Riders Association of Ontario, is a riding club comprised of Masons who have in common the passion for Motorcycling. We are not a gang, 1% club, or MC, nor do we intend disrespect to any. We are under Charter from the Widows Sons International, and fall under the Northern Jurisdiction. The Widows Sons Masonic Riders have been well received by both the public and our non-riding brethren throughout the world, and our existence and our three-piece patches have been recognized and accepted by the predominate 1% motorcycle clubs in North America and Internationally. We are non-brand specific, however, you must have a motorcycle of at least 500cc. Our main goal is to have fun and fellowship while riding together, and to serve as an asset to our Fraternity, its Members, and our Widows and Orphans.
Freemasonry is the worlds oldest Fraternity. It is made up of men from all walks of life, irrespective of race; creed; political affiliation; or socio-economic status. As Freemasons, we believe in making our communities a better place by practicing the virtues of Brotherly love, Relief, and Truth. Any man who becomes a Mason is taught a pattern for living - reverence, morality, kindness, honesty, dependability and compassion. He must be prepared to honour his country, uphold its laws and respect those in authority. He must be prepared to maintain honourable relations with others and be willing to share in Masonic activities.
Likewise, the Widows Sons is comprised of Master Masons, in good standing with their Masonic Lodge. Any man who becomes a Widows Sons Member, will be expected to honour our Association, uphold our laws, and respect those in authority. He must act honourably with his brethren, other riders, and the general public, and be willing to participate in our activities.
Though we have received Grand Lodge approval, we are not a Masonic body, but as a sort of Masonic booster club, the Widows Sons can be found raising Masonic Awareness through our participation in various public events; Charity runs; and parades, and from wearing of our distinct patches, which will easily identify us at these events or on the road. Anywhere you see a Member wearing his patches, you are welcome to approach us with any questions about the Widows Sons, or Freemasonry in general. It does not matter where you live, as Freemasonry is widespread throughout the world, we can direct you to a Lodge near you. If you find yourself interested in Freemasonry, or are already a Mason and ride, or are considering riding, and would like to become a Member of the Widows Sons, the ‘membership’ page will get you started. We are growing, and if you and some Brethren would like to start a Widows Sons Chapter in your area, we would be happy to hear from you and welcome you aboard. Please contact us via the 'contact' page.
