About Us

Lake Country Probus, Orillia’s third Probus club, was founded in 2010 to provide retired and semi retired people from Orillia and the surrounding areas with camaraderie as they experience the events and adventures offered.

Our membership year is from October 1st to September 30. We have a yearly membership fee based on our ongoing costs.  New members also pay a one time administration fee which includes their name tag.

We are in a particularly fortunate position to be able to invite new applicants into our club quickly as our venue is large enough to let us set our membership cap at 280 members. Unlike other Probus clubs in Orillia, there is no long waiting list.

Anyone wishing to join Lake Country Probus can fill out an online application found at lakecountryprobus.com The APPLY TO JOIN will be found on the upper right hand side of the page just below the letterhead. Shortly after, you will be contacted by phone by the Membership Chair to answer any questions you have and explain the joining process if you wish to continue.

Lake Country Probus boasts a user friendly website. On it, once you have become a full member, all our events are posted online, and you can sign up for them using your phone, tablet or computer. Our management team information, meeting dates, meeting minutes and member directory are things that can be accessed. We are constantly finding new and innovative ways to keep our members informed on the website. And if you ever need help with the site itself, we have talented members ready to assist.

What can you expect to be offered as a member of Lake Country? First, we have monthly meetings where the business portion is followed by social and snack time, and a speaker who has been chosen to both inform and entertain us. The meetings begin at 10:00 a.m. to noon, at Rama Community Hall at 5950 Rama Road on the 3rd Monday of the month (This date is sometimes altered due to Statutory holidays.)

Theatre events, dinner and lunch outings, trivia nights, movies, local boat cruises and cards are a few of the events we have offered. To keep us active, we have seasonal activities such as introductions to curling and lawnbowling. There are also groups for bowling, biking and walking.

Lake Country Probus is like all Probus clubs - it is run by member volunteers. We look forward to including new members who will help carry on that tradition. We encourage them to bring forth ideas for new experiences and we are happy to help them organize that experience for the club as a whole.

We are so proud of our friendly, welcoming club and we invite you to consider us if you are looking for a new social outlet.
