Club Overview


What is Probus?

Probus is a volunteer-based, non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian fellowship organization. There are over 4,000 Probus clubs worldwide with over 250 active clubs in Canada and over 37,600 members.

Probus clubs are social clubs. They were originally formed for Professional or Business retirees.  But today,  the emphasis is on encouraging healthy minds and bodies and socializing with other retirees or semi-retirees in the community,  and not on the professional or business status for membership. 

Each Probus club is autonomous but is coordinated through Probus  Canada to preserve the integrity and reputation of the clubs through minimum measures of a standard constitution and recommended by-laws.

The Probus Club of Thornhill is in Ontario District #2 of PROBUS Canada.

Probus Club of Thornhill

The Probus Club of Thornhill was established in August 2025 to meet the needs of Thornhill based retirees and semi-retirees. 

The club offers an opportunity to meet people with similar interests (e.g. bridge, walking, mahjong, dining, , book club, etc.).  There are also special events that take place throughout the year. Monthly meetings also provide an opportunity to get to know people and to hear speakers discuss current topics of interest.

  • General Meetings:  Monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of the month in the auditorium of the Holy Trinity Church located at 140 Brooke St, Thornhill.

  • Interest Groups: Interest groups are formed by members. They meet regularly with a coordinator volunteering to lead the group.

  • Special Events: One-off events are offered to members throughout the year to share friendship and experience together.

Membership

Why are people joining a Probus club?  People want to stay connected, active and engaged in retirement. We address this need and provide social events and regular group activities to foster new interests and friendships. 

The Thornhill club's membership is renewed yearly, with the expiry date of August 1, of each year. The cost of membership is:

  • Upon joining – $85.00 – to cover the badge, administration fees, hall rental, refreshments,, presenters, etc. for the year
  • for annual renewal thereafter – $60.00

Brief History of the Thornhill Club

Due to the tremendous ongoing success of the Probus club in Richmond Hill, an additional club has been established in Thornhill, sponsored by the Probus Club of Richmond Hill.  The Probus Club of Thornhill Inauguration Meeting took place on August 20th, 2025, generating much interest in the neighbourhood.
