It was developed with a structure modeled on Freemasonry, using similar ritual and regalia. Unlike many, however, it admitted men and women equally, and also made no distinction by race. It is based in Sweden, a country which had very strict alcohol policies and laws in the past. One of their principles was abstinence from alcohol and from bootlegging to native people. The Robson Lodge was established on Denman Island in 1894.
