The Probus Club is a not-for-profit society that began meeting weekly in 1922 at the Palliser Hotel and remained there for 75 years. We currently meet at the Winston Golf club (formerly the Elks). The Club continues to contribute to the life and growth of the City of Calgary. The Club began just 4 years after WW1 and the idea of a Business Leads Association arose and the club was formed. Today we meet every second week and exchange knowledge and leads with fellow members. Many other networking groups in our city have spawned from this club. Some of our Charter members were the Bank of Montreal, Maclin Ford, and Canadian National Railways. Other Notable businesses members from the past: Palm Dairies, MacCosham Van Lines, Canada Trust, TD Bank, ATB, Henry Birks and Sons, McInnes & Holloway, Johnston Controls, Canada Life, Pilkington Brothers, McArthur Furniture, Bennett Glass, Canadian Western Natural Gas, Tilden Rent a car and Tip Top Tailors.
