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 April meeting, Dominion Carillonneur Andrea McCrady gave us a fascinating presentation on the history of the “Voice of the Nation”. She went over the roles that each of her four predecessors as Carillonneur played throughout its 99-year history. Andrea, who has held the position since 2008, described the keyboard and its location between the upper and lower belfries high up in the Peace Tower. Unfortunately, due to the Centre Block restoration, the Carillon is now silent and will be until at least 2032, when the restorations are complete. More information can be found here.
