Apparently there is some controversy going on in Canada. They appear to be trying to merge the Elks of Canada (men) with the Royal Purple (women) since it has been 15 years since women were allowed into the Elks of Canada. If you go to their website, that 'merger' is apparently not going on very well. Canadian Elks number 12,000, ladies 3000. About 250 locations/lodges

This year marks the 51st anniversary of the Elks Lodge in Morden. Morden Elks Lodge is a fraternal organization that raises funds to support local community and children's needs along with supporting the Elks of Canada Purple Cross Fund. This fund is accessible locally to help out children in need of medical care where additional funding is required. While most fraternal organizations are struggling to find new members, the Morden Elks are fortunate to have had a large number of young men - 28 in total - join the organization in the past few years.

There's no denying the positives the Elks of Canada have achieved since its inception in 1912. The organization has dedicated itself to working for the good and welfare of the community with priorities for the needs of children, senior citizens and many others in mind. Special concern has always been placed on the need for nearly identification and rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children and their national charity, the Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children, has contributed over $15 million throughout the country in public awareness and special projects to bring about the early identification of those children.

"Iqaluit's Elks Lodge" I bet not too many visiting elks to this Canadian lodge lol!
