Vegreville Elks Park<\/p><\/div>\n

A National, Fraternal and Charitable Organization promoting and serving community needs through local Lodge volunteers.<\/p>\n

The qualifications to become a member of the Elks are: Any person of good reputation, a believer in a Supreme Being, an adherent of lawful government and having attained the age of 16.<\/p>\n

Members are initiated by their home lodge, become members of the National Order and receive a warm welcome in any lodge they visit across Canada. Think of it as a \u201cnational network\u201d of friends.<\/p>\n

All applicants must complete a membership application and be proposed by a member in good standing at a regular meeting of a Lodge. Membership fees are collected and a ballot\/vote upon the admission of the candidate is taken. (Fees are determined by each local Lodge.) Once approved each member is \u201cinitiated\u201d into the Elks by a special and meaningful ceremony. Once initiated they are entitled to all the privileges of membership in the Elks of Canada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The men and women of the Elks of Canada promote and support community needs across Canada.<\/p>\n
