Benefits of Membership

The PROBUS Club of Belleville, Ontario, is an inclusive club allowing individuals in their retirement and semi-retirement years to enrich their lives through social engagement, friendship, and activities.

We cherish the values of friendship through a diverse range of activities that include monthly meetings, personalized member name badges, communal meals, special events, and interest groups. Check out our Interest Groups and Events pages to see other things that are happening, as well as regular meetings.

While attendance at our meetings is entirely optional, most members find these gatherings to be an enriching experience, offering invaluable opportunities to connect with fellow members and friends, fostering a sense of belonging, and camaraderie, as well as the opportunity to hear insightful and informative speakers.

The coffee, tea and cookies at meetings are also enjoyable.
