The Royal Purple of Canada Branch #302 is a non-profit service group in the North Thompson Valley based out of the Elks Hall.
Concentrating on being a forum through which a community can organize and meet its needs, the Canadian Royal Purple has adopted the tagline, “Your Cause is Our Cause.” The volunteer work being done serves the needs of each lodge and each province with great enthusiasm and renewed success.
The purple pansy was chosen as the national emblem for two reasons: first, because the pansy grows all across Canada and, second, because it means ‘pleasant thoughts’ which fits in very well with the principles of the Royal Purple, which are Justice, Charity, Love, and Service.Each year the membership takes on projects to raise funds, which are then gifted in various ways back into the communities of the valley.
The Royal Purple is a national fraternal charitable women and men organization identifying and addressing community needs through the volunteer efforts of its membership. There are currently seven members locally and they are recruiting for new members. If you are interested in joining the Royal Purple please call president, Debbie Bailey at: 250-674-7203 or Cheryl Thomas at: 250-6784-3260
