We give our greetings to all who are visiting here for the first time. Whether you are just a visitor, or an Orangeman looking into the possibility of membership, we feel that this website will give you an insight into the Organization and it's functions.

The Royal Black, like the Orange Association is a Fraternal Brotherhood, which conducts degrees, business and fellowship in Preceptories (as Lodges are referred to in the Black), at their monthly meetings. These meetings in Ontario West, are held under a Warrant granted by the Royal Black Institution in Canada (formally the Grand Black Chapter of British America) and are governed by the Officers of the Provincial Grand Black Chapter of Ontario West. All Sir Knights maintain their allegiance to the Sovereign Queen of Great Britain and Canada.

Royal Black Knights are benevolent and take pride in a long history of charitable acts, integrity, honour and military service for our Country. Many Sir Knights, during both World Wars, left Canada and fought for Great Britain, as did many other Sir Knights from other countries in the British Commonwealth.

The Order is a Christian Protestant Institution and the Lectures and Degrees (from the Royal Black to the Red Cross) of the Order are taken from both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Royal Black Knights believe that Jesus is the only Son of God who died on the cross on their behalf.
