The Orange Lodges have existed in Canada at least since the War of 1812. It was more formally organized in 1830 when the Grand Orange Lodge of British North America was established. Four Canadian Prime Ministers have been members: John A. Macdonald, John Abbott, Mackenzie Bowell, and John Diefenbaker.
