The Probus Club of Western Ottawa is part of the international organization of Probus Clubs designed to serve the retired and semi-retired community.

Our club meets on the second Tuesday of each month except during July and August.
The morning begins at 9:45 a.m. for  socialization and signing up for activities followed by a speaker. Topics are varied, interesting and stimulating.

Special social events and outings occur throughout the year.

Western Ottawa Probus meets at the Kanata Baptist Church,
465 Hazeldean Road, Kanata

Visitors are welcome!

    At our October meeting, Michael Petrou outlined the results of the “In Their Own Voices” project at the Canadian War Museum. Over 200 veterans were interviewed and asked how their service has changed them and those closest to them. Michael shared several audio clips to illustrate how, in retrospect, many saw their service. Two of those comments: “I learned to smile a lot” and “I guess we did something we should be proud of.” This prompted many questions and anecdotes from an appreciative audience.
