Purpose of Probus
Our goal is to provide Fellowship, Friendship, and Fun for men and women in their retirement and semi-retirement years.
We are a volunteer-based, non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian fellowship organization with over 4,000 clubs worldwide, approximately 250 Canadian clubs made up of over 35,000 members. Our clubs are all about encouraging healthy minds and bodies and socializing with other retirees in the community.
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.
Probus has a vital role
To stimulate thought, interest and participation in activities at a time in life when it is easy to become complacent.
To provide regular gatherings to those who, in retirement, appreciate and value opportunities to meet others in similar circumstances and of a similar level of interest.
Existing Probus clubs and Rotary Clubs can sponsor new Probus clubs.
Each Probus club is autonomous but is coordinated through Probus Canada so that the clubs themselves, through regional representatives on a national board, agree to minimal measure of conformity through a standard Constitution and recommended By-laws, to preserve the integrity and reputation of these clubs. This has proved a successful basis for serving the needs of retirees in the many countries in which Probus clubs are now flourishing.
PROBUS Canada has worked with Johnson Inc., a national benefits provider, to offer plans for our members. The Health/Travel Insurance plans include voluntary benefit options that can be purchased on a standalone basis to meet your insurance needs.
There are two Probus Clubs in Bradford. We are Probus Bradford West Gwillimbury which commenced in 2014 by a group of dedicated volunteers. Our membership meets the third Wednesday of each month at St. John’s Presbyterian Church at 10 am.
