Societas Rosicruciana in Canadiensis, first mentioned in a declaration dated 31 May 1876, but it was not formally constituted (by a Col. W.J.B. McLeod Moore,[39] through his acquaintance with John Yarker) until 19 September of that year. Most of the membership came from the town of Maitland, Ontario. The society constituted a High Council exactly one year later, but the Society went into abeyance at some point after 1889.
