SPEAKER PROGRAM |
Aptil 22nd, Neil Cochrane
Immigration
|
|
Neil Cochrane worked in Canada's immigration service from 1982 until 2005. After starting on the front lines dealing with the public in Canada
and at diplomatic missions abroad, he rose through the ranks to become Director of Policy and Legislation in the Admissibility Branch.
|
|
|
Upon retirement Neil wrote Beyond Numbers, a memoir of his experience as an immigration official. In this fascinating memoir, he
takes readers on a rare insiders tour of the Canada Immigration Service. His collection of compelling, personal stories,
drawn from his front-line experience in Canada and at diplomatic missions in India, Bangladesh and the Philippines, provide a unique
and revealing look into the immigration social phenomenon. In one reflection of his experience he states: "...we were building a nation,
not with railway ties or political accords, but with souls."

We have added a link to the Johnson Insurance web site (see "Links" page).
Johnson provides competitive rates for Probus members for all kinds of insurance, particularly travel insurance.
They are in the process of joining with Belair Direct, but this link will still give you access.

Guests and Visitors from other Clubs are welcome.

We are a 'Combined' Club. We meet on the 4th Wednesday of the month (except December - 2nd Wednesday).
Meetings begin at 10:00 with a few minutes of announcements and then a speaker. Members start
to arrive about 9:30 for coffee, cookies and chat (tea, Tim-bits and talk).
|
 |
Meetings are at: Gloucester Presbyterian Church
91 Pike Street
Ottawa K1T 3J6
Pike Street runs north from Hunt Club just west of Conroy. The church is at the
corner of Lorry Greenberg and Pike. The parking lot entrance is off Pike.

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.
