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 30th, 2026.

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.

Deadline has passed for this opportunity. 

As PROBUS CANADA gears up for our 40th Anniversary Year in 2027, they are launching an exciting project and need your help!

Calling All Members: Share Your Love for PROBUS!

We are creating a video montage to celebrate PROBUS’ 40th Anniversary, and we want you to be a part of it! All you need is your smartphone.

• The Ask: Record a quick video clip of yourself sharing what you love about PROBUS.  (Remember that by submitting a clip, you are giving permission for your images to be used in our video.)

• The Length: Keep it short—no more than 20 seconds!

• The Location: Please shoot the video outside or at your club's venue or your favourite place.

• The Deadline: End of September.

• The Reward: Everyone who submits a clip will be entered into a draw for a Dinner for Two Voucher (worth $140)!

 A quick director's note: While we’d love to feature everyone's Hollywood debut, we might not be able to squeeze every single clip into the final edit. However, we promise to watch and enjoy every last one of them!

 Stuck on what to say? After starting by giving your name and your club’s name, use one of these prompts to answer in your video:

• How did you first hear about PROBUS—and what made you decide to join?

• What's the one thing you look forward to most—an interest group, a speaker, or a social event?

• Finish this sentence: "The best thing about PROBUS is..."

• What would you tell a friend who has never heard of PROBUS?

• Tell us about a PROBUS moment—a trip, an event, a conversation—that is most memorable.

• What does PROBUS mean to you—in one word or one sentence?

Thank you for helping us celebrate 40 wonderful years!

Best regards,

Chuck Heroux and Pat Zrihen
