A Canadian organization, the "Sons of Scotland" has
branches throughout Canada, from Quebec to Vancouver Island.
The Association carries on a benefits and insurance programme
for the protection of members, their families and beneficiaries.
It is a non-profit group, organized in 1876 to develop amongst
its members a spirit of mutual co-operation, friendship and
assistance.
Scottish-oriented,
the Association encourages recollections of Scotland, maintains
strong traditions, and promotes through education, customs,
social events, a continuing appreciation of Scottish history
and accomplishments.
As
is the case with other branches, the Montreal Association
is actively involved in raising funds for local and nationally-sponsored
charities.
The
District of Montreal operates five groups (camps) which meet
monthly, and a multitude of social activities are planned,
including barbecues, corn roasts, ceilidhs, Burns supper,
and so on. Newcomers will be warmly welcomed.
