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 10:00 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.

Visitors are welcome!

    At our June meeting, Victoria Woodhouse gave an enthusiastic presentation on the merits of using road rights of way, hydro corridors, and other open spaces to encourage butterfly habitats. She mentioned that 17% of Monarch Butterflies that journey successfully to Mexico are from Canada. The main breeding areas in Canada are southern Ontario and southern Quebec. Victoria emphasized the importance of Milkweed — it’s their only host plant and the only thing Monarch caterpillars can eat. More information can be found at helpthemonarchs.ca
