Orange Order in Canada
The Orange Order in Canada played an important role in the history of Canada, especially since 1830 when the grand Orange Lodge of British North America was established (this was date is often given as the beginning of Canadian Orangeism, however there is evidence of Orangeism earlier in Canada, with definite records of Orangemen involved in the War of 1812). Most early members of the Orange Institution were from Ireland, but later many English, Scots, and other Protestant Europeans joined the Order.
