OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE FELLOWSHIP, FRIENDSHIP AND FUN FOR

MEN & WOMEN IN THEIR RETIREMENT & SEMI-RETIREMENT YEARS!

PROBUS is a volunteer-based, non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian fellowship organization with over 4,000 clubs worldwide, 255 being Canadian clubs made up of over 38,000 members.

Our club is all about encouraging healthy minds and bodies, as well as socializing and friendship with other retirees in the community.

The club is simple in structure, free of the constraints and obligations of service clubs.  

In PROBUS you’ll find a wealth of new experiences and a much-expanded social network. The opportunities abound in each club, with awesome guest speakers, a broad range of interesting activities and social events, stimulating conversation, and the chance to explore your community, Canada and the world with new friends.    

There are many opportunities to participate and employ your talents and abilities in the managing of the club and sub groups, and so contribute to others.

PROBUS Has a vital Purpose

 Many in retirement find that their social network and purpose in life, which is so important for our health and happiness, revolved around their occupation and has now been lost. The stimulated thought, interest and participation in activities, at a time in life when it is easy to become complacent, is crucial for mental and physical health.

"OUR STRENGTH IS FELLOWSHIP - OUR SUCCESS IS PARTICIPATION"
