Mocha Shriners come to town for their Spring Ceremonial

The 2026 Mocha Shriners Spring Ceremonial was hosted by the Bruce Shrine Club in Port Elgin on the weekend (May 29th -30th).  On Saturday, a parade featuring Shriner participants from throughout the Mocha chapter in Ontario, entertained Port Elgin residents along the Goderich Street route.

Mocha Shriners is an organization based in Western and Northern Ontario that raises funds to support Shriners Hospital for Children locally nationally and internationally.

Mocha Shriners in London, began in 1886 and embraced fellowship, parades, and charitable giving.  On January 1, 1908, Mocha Temple was officially founded, becoming the seventh Shrine Temple in Canada.  Since 1920, Mocha’s primary charity has been Shriners Hospitals for Children, with hundreds of thousands of dollars raised to support this cause.

There are several clubs that belong to the Mocha Shriners chapter.
