Our goal is to provide Fellowship, Friendship and Fun for men and women in their retirement and semi-retirement years.
We have monthly meetings with guest speakers and our club organizes special events throughout the year. This can be trips to the theatre, summer picnics, car rallies, golf tournament etc.
Members take turns volunteering for the various functions that are necessary to operate our Probus club. This in itself is a great way to meet new friends!
PROBUS is an abbreviation for Professional Business.
A PROBUS Club is social in nature and is open to semi-retired & retired people. People with similar interests who wish to meet with like-minded individuals in their retirement years are welcome to the club. The club is non-political, non-sectarian, non-profit & non-fundraising.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A PROBUS CLUB? Regular monthly meetings provide a brief business session, a social time with refreshments, & a stimulating speaker. Attendance is not compulsory. Therefore, people who travel or go away for the summer or winter months are not excluded. The business portion of the monthly meeting is an opportunity to inform members about upcoming activities so that members can sign up during breaktime.
WHEN AND WHERE DO WE MEET? Meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month at the General Sikorski Hall, 1551 Stevenson Rd N, Oshawa, starting at 10AM.
N.B. The PROBUS Club of Oshawa will soon be moving to our new venue!
I have taken the liberty of copying just one testimonial from the PROBUS Club of Canada as it so perfectly describes the feeling that many of our Oshawa members feel since joining.
We will soon be welcoming our new members who have patiently been waiting on our waiting list!

PROBUS CLUB OF NORTHUMBERLAND - ONTARIO
I've been a member of our local Probus Northumberland for three years now. My wife and I were approached some eight years ago and asked if we would like to attend a meeting. I was the reluctant one, not really interested in spending a couple of hours, twice monthly, in a hall socializing and listening to guest speakers. My loss!
I lived in Cobourg for 64 years, arriving in in this warm and welcoming town in my early teens. The demographic and the faces of Cobourg have changed significantly in those 64 years. Joining our local Probus has opened up a whole new world, new friends, new fun times, theatre, golf, BBQs, dining, bowling, socializing, partying, this list goes on and on. There is not a better way for a senior to enjoy ones waning years, then taking out a membership in PROBUS Northumberland.
Probus is the icing on the cake for those taking full advantage of the many wonderful things on offering during our retirement years - Ron
