Type: Masonic Rosicrucian society
Documented foundation: 1876; the order was reconstituted independently in 1997.
Self‑description: the Canadian SRIC presents itself as a college of Master Masons seeking to study Rosicrucian symbolism, hermetic philosophy and Christian spirituality. It publishes research papers and organizes ritualized meetings.
Claimed lineage: the order claims a Canadian continuity from the British SRIA, but today asserts its sovereignty and adaptation to local contexts.
Access: by invitation; reserved for Christian Master Masons. Candidates must be recommended by members and approved by provincial officers.
Public contact: the site rosicrucians.ca provides a form and contact details to reach the secretary general.
Critical note: the Canadian SRIC plays a role in the North American network of Rosicrucian societies. Its site publishes research documents useful to historians of Freemasonry.
