Probus Club of Ottawa Alta Vista


September 28th The Changing Face of War General (Ret’d) Paul D. Manson, O.C., C.M.M., C.D. From the pitched battles of the two world wars to a truck being driven into crowds of revellers, warfare has changed dramatically. Emerging technologies, unconventional warfare and public attitudes towards war are some of the factors which General Manson will explore in his look at the changing face of war. General Manson served as Canada’s Chief of the Defence Staff from 1986 to 1989, culminating a distinguished 38-year military career. Following military service he was president of a large aerospace company, retiring in 1997. For the next seven years he was the full-time volunteer Chairman of the “Passing the Torch” campaign in support of the new Canadian War Museum. He is a frequent commentator on defence issues in Canadian news media.

October 26 - David Newland Adventure Canada David was our speaker in November 2014, and was so well received that we have invited him back. Last time his talk was on Canada’s Wild East - Newfoundland and Labrador. As soon as he gets back from his latest tour we will add details of his talk.

PROBUS' Vital Purpose … ... to stimulate thought, interest and participation in activities at a time in life when it is easy to become complacent and self-centred.
