Welcome to the Peterborough and District Probus Club

PROBUS is an association of retired and semi-retired persons who come together in autonomous clubs throughout the world. It is non-religious, non-sectarian, non-profit, and non-political. Probus Clubs exist in many countries and communities. Probus Clubs worldwide are not service organizations. Our members are active volunteers in a variety of community organizations.

Probus is simple in structure, involves minimal costs and is designed to provide fellowship and opportunities for learning. Probus does not raise funds other than for planned member activities. It exists as a means of getting and staying connected to friends, the community, and the world. Clubs are formed to provide social events and schedule speakers to keep members up to date with community issues and happenings.

The Peterborough PROBUS CLUB’s activities include: A Monthly Meeting on the first Wednesday of the month from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, Sept. until June. We meet at the Peterborough Royal Canadian Legion 1550 Lansdowne St. West, Peterborough, ON. Each meeting of members includes a brief business session, time for socializing and a presentation from a guest speaker, lasting for approximately 1 hour including time for discussion.

Programs include excursions (such as a bus tour to see the colour of the leaves in Algonquin Park, etc.) and other special interest activities such as golf, a car rally, theatre trips, etc.  There is something for everyone!
