How do I find a Probus club near me?

Modified on Fri, 03 Nov 2023 at 02:33 PM

To become a member of one of our many Probus clubs, you need to contact the club of interest directly. Most clubs have an email address in our club directory or they list the place, date, and time of their regular meetings.


This website offers a couple of interactive ways to browse through the list of current clubs, using a map and using a list. 


To get started, please visit https://www.probuscanada.ca/find-a-club


Using a map

After a few seconds you should see a map of Canada with a number of Probus icons and red and blue circles. The circles indicate how many clubs are in that area. 

Probus icons are golden for combined clubs, pink for women's clubs, and blue for men's clubs.


Clicking on a Probus icon will show a little pop-up with key contact information for that club.


How to zoom into the map

Clicking on one of the blue or red circles will zoom further into that area. You can keep clicking on circles until there are only Probus icons on the map.


You can also use standard mapping gestures. Dependent on the device you are using, this is done with a two-finger motion or using a combination of mouse and control key. To use pinch-to-zoom, touch two fingers on the touch screen, and move them apart to zoom in, or together to zoom out. Or, you can use the onscreen zoom controls on the right side, including displaying the map in full-screen.


Alternatively, you can use the provided search feature to zoom into your area of interest. It does not have to be precise, just something that allows Google Search to find the most likely answer. Postal codes are excellent, even just the first 3 characters.


In some areas there are multiple Probus clubs using the same meeting place. To see all of the individual Probus icons you'll want to zoom all the way in.


Using a table

On the very same page as the map, i.e. https://www.probuscanada.ca/find-a-club, you'll also find a table containing public information of all Probus clubs in Canada.


On a large screen, e.g. when using a laptop, all the information is in view immediately. However, on small devices such as iPhones the complete information may only be viewable once expanded by clicking on a green button with a white plus. This icon turns to red after having been clicked.


 

Using the box titled Search this table (top right corner of the table), type the name of your city or the first 3 characters of your postal code. While you are typing, the list will immediately filter the club list and only show you those clubs that match the word(s) you type.


Once you find a club of interest, reach out to the club using this information.
