The Tillsonburg Shrine Club is entering its 76th year.

Welcome to the Tillsonburg Shrine Club

Proudly Serving Tillsonburg Since 1943

Every great organization begins with a simple idea.

In 1943, twelve dedicated Shriners from Tillsonburg gathered with a common purpose: to build an organization founded on friendship, fellowship, service, and a commitment to helping children. Meeting in the offices of the Tillsonburg Shoe Company, these founding members established what was originally known as the Si-Cho Shrine Club, receiving their official charter on December 3, 1943. Their vision was simple—to serve their community while supporting the life-changing work of Shriners Hospitals for Children.

More than eight decades later, that vision continues to guide everything we do.

The Tillsonburg Shrine Club has become an important part of our community, bringing people together through volunteerism, charitable fundraising, and community events. From supporting local initiatives to helping provide specialized medical care for children and their families, our members are proud to continue the legacy started by those twelve founding Nobles.

One of our proudest traditions is our Annual Pork BBQ. For generations, families have gathered to enjoy recipes and cooking techniques handed down through decades of Shrine members. Today, now celebrating its 66th Annual BBQ, this event remains one of our community’s favourite traditions—a day built around great food, fellowship, and giving back.

The strength of our club has never been found in our buildings or our events. It has always been found in our members—men who believe that by working together, they can make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

Whether you’re joining us for one of our community events, supporting our charitable efforts, or considering becoming a Shriner yourself, we invite you to become part of a tradition that has proudly served Tillsonburg since 1943.

Together, we honour our past, serve our present, and build a brighter future for the children and families who depend on us.
