As you know by now, our 40th Anniversary is coming up in 2027, and we’re creating a celebratory video that shows PROBUS at its best — members connecting, laughing, learning, exploring, and enjoying club life.

We’re now asking each club to submit photos of members engaged in PROBUS activities — whether it’s a hike, a lunch, outings, interest groups, social events, a trip, a game, or any other club event, we’d love to include it.

We’ve created a simple online form where you can upload your photo. The form accepts one photo per upload, so just submit the form again if you have more photos. You can send as many as you wish.

Please use this link to upload your photos

Your contributions will help us create a joyful, meaningful anniversary video that reflects the best of who we are.

Everyone who submits a photo will be entered into a draw for a Dinner for Two Voucher (worth $140)!

Important Note: by submitting a photo, you are giving permission for your images to be used in our video which will be posted on the Web.

Please submit your photo(s) by November 30^th, 2026.

On behalf of the PROBUS Canada 40th Anniversary Committee

Our planning to celebrate Probus Canada's 40th Anniversary in 2027 is progressing nicely. More on that will be relayed in the coming months.

One of the first, highly requested, components of our plan is to offer anniversary logoed merchandise via an online store. We have partnered with a small Canadian entrepreneur, Ladybug Designs, to offer the following logoed items:

·  sweaters
·  hoodies and sweatshirts
·  t-shirts
·  polo shirts
·  baseball caps
·  coffee mugs
·  travel tumblers
·  tote bags
·  playing cards (as a bulk order)
·  collector pins will be offered in late October 

With Christmas approaching, you might wish to make a gift purchase for your favourite Probian. There is free shipping being offered on orders over $100, so it might be a good idea to partner up with a Probus buddy or two.

Visit the store today to see what is on offer and check back periodically to see any new items that have been added. You can begin your shopping experience by clicking on:

PROBUS Global Newsletter September 2026 The September 2026 Newsletter is linked below. Your letters to the editor, ideas for articles, submissions for the next newsletter, and feedback on the format and content are all encouraged. Geoffrey Lloyd, our indefatigable editor, is awaiting your input by November 1 for the December issue. From dispatches spanning Canada, Japan, the USA, Europe, and the Australian outback, this month's Newsletter brings the global PROBUS family together in one place. We celebrate milestones like Yokohama's 25th anniversary, 35 years of friendship between Probus France and Belgium, and a Senior Achievement Award in Ontario. Along the way, you'll also find a poetic ode to restless retirement inspired by Tennyson's Ulysses, the real reason London cabbies dodge fares south of the Thames after dark, a 4,000-year-old mine in Mid Wales, a wedding-day coincidence with a beam of sunlight in London, and a scone-versus-Welsh-cake showdown at Wimbledon. Whether you're curious about the strange customs the British can't explain to visitors or you just want to know why everyone thanks the bus driver on the way out, there's something here to make you smile, learn something new, and feel a little more connected to PROBUS members around the world.
