About G. Fred Kingsmill Chapter Order of DeMolay

The G. Fred Kingsmill Chapter, Order of DeMolay is a youth organization located in the Woodfield neighborhood on Dufferin Ave in London, Ontario. It serves young men who are between the ages of 12 and 20 and are of good character with a belief in a God. The organization focuses on helping young men develop leadership skills by allowing them to run the chapter under the guidance of adult advisors. Members practice teamwork by working together to manage chapter operations and develop public speaking abilities through the memorization and presentation of various ceremonies. The chapter is currently on hiatus from holding regularly scheduled meetings. The chapter was instituted on January 17, 1981, and is sponsored by the Masonic Association of London. It was founded by Ross Keeler, who established the London chapter after visiting a chapter in Windsor. While the group first began meeting in London in 1979, the chapter's name was chosen to honor a prominent Mason and business leader in the city. The organization acknowledges authority to DeMolay Canada, which serves as the governing body for the Order of DeMolay in the country.
