Men’s Shed Association of BC: Information Session
Men’s Sheds are welcoming community spaces where men come together to build friendships, share skills, support one another, and stay connected. With a focus on engaging hands, hearts, and minds, Men’s Sheds help men find purpose, belonging, and wellbeing while reducing the risk of social isolation and its negative impacts. Research has shown that participation in Men’s Sheds can contribute to improved mental health, increased social connectedness, reduced loneliness, and enhanced overall quality of life.
Join Mark Nicoll, BC Men’s Shed Association Board Member for Vancouver Island, for this engaging in-person information session. Through a presentation and stories from local Men’s Sheds, you’ll discover how these community-driven groups are changing lives by fostering friendship, purpose, and meaningful engagement. You’ll learn what a Men’s Shed is, how to start one in your community, and how Sheds create spaces where men can support each other, share experiences, and enhance their overall wellbeing.
Whether you’re interested in starting a Shed, supporting men’s wellness initiatives, or simply learning more about this growing movement, everyone is welcome. Men are encouraged to attend, as are others who support the men in their lives—whether as partners, family members, friends, caregivers, or community advocates. Come learn how Men’s Sheds are helping create healthier, more connected communities for everyone.
