Probus is a social organization for retired and semi-retired people. It is a non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian, non-fundraising fellowship movement that operates worldwide with more than 300,000 members in 4,000 clubs. In Canada, there are more than 250 clubs serving 35,000 members. The name Probus is an amalgam of the abbreviation of the words professional and business. Probus clubs are intended to be simple in structure, free of the constraints and obligations of a service club and involve members at a minimal cost. Each Probus club is autonomous, but is coordinated through Probus Canada to ensure consistency and to preserve the integrity and reputation of the movement worldwide.
