Greetings. Recently I was asked by someone, what is "C.U.M.T.T." ?Today, the hall is owned by Collingwood Masonic Centre Incorporated which was created to hold and administer the property when the Trust was converted to an Association. This is sometimes incorrectly reported at the Collingwood United Masonic Centre Incorporated. There is now no "united" in our official name. Commonly, it is written as CMC Inc. The centre
is actually in Abbotsford, but "Collingwood" is in our name. We can take
guesses about this, but dont know exactly why the cross over from
Abbotsford to Collingwood was made. Likely, part of Collingwood became
Abbotsford, or the lodges meeting in the hall identified more strongly
with Collingwood. Certainly a copy of the Trust Deed stipulated the Hall
at "141 Gipps Street Abbotsford" will be known as the Collingwood
United Masonic Temple Trust. So, if you're researching the CUMTT, you are researching us and I thought I would leave you this bread crumb to follow. A history of the centre can be read here |
