     Celebrate PROBUS Month with Us!

    October 1st is officially National Seniors Day, but PROBUS is celebrating all month long! Throughout October, we’re recognizing the incredible contributions of PROBUS Clubs across the country.

    We invite you to join us on Tuesday, October 14 at 8:45 AM for a special event hosted by the Town of the Blue Mountains.

    The morning will feature:

    • An official Proclamation of October as PROBUS Month.
    • The raising of our new Beaver Valley PROBUS flag at the Riverwalk Flagpole (located on the west side of the Town Offices, near the wooden fish sculptures).

    We will be hosted by the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Council of the Town of the Blue Mountains.  We will also be joined by Martin Buscher the President of PROBUS Canada.

    This is a proud moment for the Beaver Valley PROBUS Club, and we’d love for you to be part of it. Come celebrate our role in the community and show your support for Probus in the Town of the Blue Mountains!

    Sincerely,
    Kirby Philp
