A Brief History of Illustrious Sir Jack Hildebrand
I began my Masonic journey in February 1976 when I joined Ophir Masonic Lodge #112 in Beausejour, Manitoba. In October 1978, I became a member of the Khartum Shriners. I got involved right away, joining the Director's Staff Unit and participating in selling novelties at the Shriner Circus in Winnipeg in 1979. I soon took on the responsibility of inflating the many balloons for each of the circus
Throughout the summer, I participated in numerous parades that the Khartum Shriners attended, such as those in Selkirk, Lac du Bonnet, Pinawa, and Gimli. After I was elected to the Divan, I was honored to be made an honorary member of the Komedians Unit, and my clown name is "Snoozer." I take great joy in dressing up in makeup and walking in parades, greeting children and bringing smiles to their faces, especially when my grandchildren don’t recognize me.
I had the honor of serving as the Potentate of the Khartum Shriners in 2016 and again in 2025. I remain active with my Masonic lodge and the Shriners, as I believe that the more involved you are, the greater the enjoyment you receive from it.
