John Megarry, Membership Chair, is accumulating archival material and assembling it on a Probus Google Drive site accessible to our membership. If you have photos or memorabilia please contact John.

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.
