The Christmas Dinner is an Annual event to which members wives or partners are invited. It is a fabulous event with great food, wine and entertainment. This year we had 50 members and partners in attendance and the room buzzed with chatter and excitement. The Club gave us a choice of entrees and was flexible with any dietary needs. After dessert a games host split us into teams and we competed in answering a series of questions on paper. Lot’s of fun!!


The Ireland House is a local treasure of what life was like in the early 1800’s. We were professionally guided by volunteers through a series of buildings full of thousands of period artifacts. Our guides were interesting and very knowledgeable.
The McMichael Gallery in King is a Canadian jewel housing a broad range of artwork mainly from the Group of Seven. On May 11, 2023 the club went for a guided tour, and our Volunteer tour guide shared the backgrounds of the painters and their works. The tour was followed by a sumptuous lunch
This event gave the members a chance for their wives to join in on a lunch and discussion with good friends from the Probus Club of Oakville. The Royal Windsor Pub has a relaxed atmosphere with a wide selection of good Pub Food. When we have small group meetings they accommodate us in a smaller enclosed room for private discussions. Who could ask for more?

On Thursday, October 27, 2022, The Probus Club of Oakville had the honor of visiting the Howard Iron Works Museum & Restoration. It was a fascinating tour conducted by owner Nick Howard about the history of the printing press between 1830 to the 1950s..
Over 100 presses were on display in immaculate condition and the tools that made them work. It is difficult to put into words how interesting it was to see Printing Presses from around the world and to learn in a very clear presentation about their evolution in Canada.
This is a world-class Museum right at our doorstep
