June 2024 

Hey there! If you’re new to our website and looking for a truly wonderful photo club, you certainly landed on the right webpage. I hope you’ll find enough information here to inspire you to join us for a meeting (or two) as our guest before becoming a member. Newcomers and prospective members are always welcome!

For the 2024-25 year, we will again have a mix of in-person and online meetings. Our in-person meetings take place at the Queenswood Heights Community Centre at 1485 Duford Drive in Orléans, Ontario. We will have ten meetings from September 2024 to June 2025, with the January, February, and March 2025 meetings to be held online. These allow us to bring in presenters from outside the National Capital Area and further enrich our great programming.

We’re looking forward to reconnecting with old and new friends to socialize and find photographic inspiration, and will be offering, in addition to our monthly meetings, a number of workshops and outings, along with our December and June potluck socials. Our dedicated executive team is working very hard to make our programs interesting, informative, and entertaining.

If you’re interested in giving the club a try, please reach out to our webmaster via the Contact page for an invitation to our meetings and newsletters by email. Details about our monthly meetings can be found under the INFO tab (Meetings and Programs). And if you haven’t participated in club activities yet and decide to join in February or later, you’ll enjoy a reduced membership rate.

Stay well, future photographic friends, and we hope to see you soon to find inspiration, have some fun and grow as photographic artists!

Jean-François Riel, CPOPC President

Meetings & Programs

The Orléans Photo Club’s regular meetings are normally held every second Saturday of the month from 10am to 12.30 from September to June (there are no meetings held in July or August).  However, for the 2024-2025 season, there are some exceptions to this schedule which are shown on a detailed schedule here.

At our meetings, guest speakers are invited to present specialized techniques on a wide variety of photographic subjects and members share their own images in a competition/challenge and other contribution formats.

We encourage all interested photographers and prospective members to attend a meeting or two as a guest to see if the club offers what they are looking for in a photo club.  If the meeting is in-person, you can just show up and introduce yourself. If the meeting is online you will need to obtain an Zoom invitation by emailing our Webmaster at least one day in advance.
