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.

Existing Probus clubs and Rotary clubs can sponsor new Probus clubs.

The Probus Club of North York is in Ontario District #3 of PROBUSCanada.

The Probus Club of North York was established in April 2019 to meet the needs of North York based retirees and semi-retirees. 

The club offers an opportunity to meet people with similar interests (e.g. bridge, walking, golfing, dining, movies, music, 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 fourth Wednesday of the month at  North York Memorial Hall, Burgundy Room (lower level),  5110 Yonge St. Toronto.
  
  
• Activities: Activity groups are formed by members. They meet regularly with a convenor volunteering to lead the group.
  
  
• Special Events: One-off events are offered throughout the year by members to share friendship and experience together.
