District 1 (home of the first council in Ontario) held its first district-wide exemplification on September 28th. The exemplification team led by Our Lady of Fatima Council 9742 welcomed 15 new candidates into the order across three councils (St Pats (Pioneer) 485, Our Lady of Fatima 9742, and St George’s 12124).

Many council leaders said this was one of the largest exemplification classes ever seen in the district.

DD Nicholas Quadrini also presented GK Doug McKenzie (9742) with his 2023-24 Father McGivney Award for Membership Excellence.
