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.

"Families found fun and fright Friday night at Elks Lodge 683 with its fifth annual Soggy Bottom House of Horrors. Proceeds support the lodge's charities.

It's still scary and fun.""
