According to The Canadian Encyclopedia, “The Orange Order was founded as a political and religious fraternal society in the Irish province of Ulster in 1795. It takes its name from the Prince of Orange, King William III, who reclaimed Britain\u2019s Protestant monarchy when his forces defeated those of the Catholic King James II at the Battle of the Boyne, 12 July 1690…<\/p>\n

While the Orange Order today is multicultural, its membership has declined considerably, standing at around 5,000\u20136,000 people scattered throughout a few hundred lodges across the country.” Read more here<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
