The March to Jerusalem took place in the City of Montreal on Sunday, May 23,2004 This is an annual event in Montreal, in order to raise money for Jewish cultural events.

The weather was sunny, perfect marching weather. Attendance was approximately 20,000 people, marching, on bicycles, skate boards, roller blades and many in baby stroller. Members of Jewish Organizations in Montreal were asked to sponsor some of the stations located along the route. Ivanhoe Members, Subordinate Lodge members and Grand Lodge members manned our station "Beth Shean" which was located on Queen Mary Road just south of Decarie Boulvard.

In all, this was a very successful March and we are happy to say that the Knights of Pythias had our members and their wives participating and doing yeoman work all day long.

The station was closed at 5 PM. It is our hope to be able to participate again next year at this important annual event.
