The Probus club organizes walks around the year, dependent upon the weather in the winter. If we cannot walk, we cross country ski in the winter. In the summer we also canoe.

This activity is normally on the third Wednesday of each month and we generally meet at the parking lot next to the Manotick Library at 9.30 a.m. This gives us the opportunities to car pool in the event we are traveling some distance. Some of the activities include a picnic lunch or a visit to a restaurant.

Activities include walks in the Gatineau park, especially in October to see the fall colours, canoeing on the Rideau , local walks and cross country skiing in the Green areas.
