Good day Nobles and Ladies of Philae Shriners,

First off, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your dedication and for your continued, tireless support of Philae Shriners throughout 2025.

The need to help our kids remains a top priority. There are still many children who need our help, and that means Philae needs your help. Every little bit truly does make a difference as we work toward our shared goal of ensuring our kids receive the care they need and deserve.

On behalf of Lady Cindy, myself, and the 2025 Divan, we would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. We look forward to meeting with all of you at the 2026 AGM and Installation Ceremonies on January 16 & 17, 2026, at the Westin Hotel in Halifax.

Warm regards,
A.N. Sandy Buchan, Potentate 2025

We've got a busy weekend planned for our big weekend. Kicking off the weekend is the Chief Rabban Night. A celebration of everything we've done, and everything will do this year. Join our Potentate Elect David Skinner, on his last evening as Chief Rabban for fun and fellowship.
On Saturday, while the Nobles attend the AGM, the ladies will enjoy their own Ladies Program at an undisclosed location.
Later that afternoon, our 2026 Divan will be installed into their offices followed by our Installation Banquet.
Both nights, enjoy more fellowship at our hospitality room.
Call before Dec 31 to reserve your room at a special rate. Call Philae office (902) 454-7811 for more information and then book direct with the Westin at 1-866-761-3513. Stay right at the hotel so you don't miss out on any of the festivities.
Banquet tickets can be purchased directly from the office, $75 per plate.

Please be advised of our Holiday Office hours.
