November 2026

Dear Members,

As we gather this month, Remembrance Day invites us to pause and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of those who served — and of those who continue to serve — in the cause of peace and freedom.

 At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we remember not only the ones who have served, who are serving, and those who have given their lives but also all the families who have gone to bed worried, lost loved ones and continue to support their brothers and sisters and sons and daughters and friends. We honour those who did not return, those who came home carrying the effects of their service, and the families and communities who shared in that sacrifice. Their stories remind us that remembrance is not only about looking back; it is also about the kind of future we choose to build.

In our Probus community, friendship, fellowship and shared experience are gifts worth cherishing. Let us carry the spirit of Remembrance Day into our everyday lives by showing kindness, listening to one another, and appreciating the freedoms and connections we often take for granted.

I look forward to seeing everyone November 20th for our monthly meeting. Don’t forget to sign up for our Christmas party, it is filling up fast.

Warm Wishes for November,

President Pat
