Our Story
Probus was established in the 1920s to bring together retired professionals and business people for camaraderie and lifelong learning. However, our doors are open to anyone who shares our enthusiasm for discovery and community.
Our chapter was founded to serve individuals in the Rideau Valley who value the chance to connect with others at a similar life stage. Whether you’ve recently retired or are looking for new opportunities to explore your interests, Probus provides a welcoming space to do just that.
