On March 17, 2010 Maxville lodge held it's first meeting in the new lodge room. The Lodge is now located upstairs at the Metcalf Centre on the Glengarry  Highland Games Site. A capacity crowed filled the banquet room where R.W. Bro Frank Gordon addressed the brethren on his official visit.  While the official dedication will take place in the fall, a small ceremony was held to commemorate this auspicious occasion.  The brethren of Maxville Lodge have done a marvelous job of turning a mezzanine into a great facility that will benefit both masons and the community as well
