Where Age Doesn’t Keep Us From Thinking Young!

Our Strength is Fellowship; Our Success is Participation.

Welcome to the
mens Probus Club of Collingwood!

The Probus Club of Collingwood, celebrated its 36th anniversary in October, 2023. It is the original men’s Probus Club of the Georgian Triangle, and one of the first in Ontario. Informative speakers each month combined with a membership of retired and semi-retired active men, enables us to create a place of enjoyment and fellowship in the community, emphasizing the Probus motto. We enjoy numerous trips and social events throughout the year, including golf, biking, theatre, excursions, and tours of businesses throughout Ontario.

We meet at the east side of the Collingwood Canadian Tire Parking lot and depart sharp at 10am. When we finish the ride we typically stop for a lunch. A few days prior to the ride an email will go out to those who have signed up at the monthly Probus General Meeting confirming the routing and the meeting location. (On occasion we may not meet at the Canadian Tire so we would encourage you to add your name to the list of riders so that you will receive the email notifications. ) If weather is a problem an email is sent out prior to 9am on Mondays advising of a cancellation.

Meetings

Meetings are the first Thursday of every month, starting at 10:00 am. They are held at The Royal Canadian Legion, 490 Ontario Street, Collingwood.
