An Overview of Men’s Sheds
Unique and independent Men’s Sheds have been set up in communities all over the World and Canada. The Ridge Men’s Shed in Edmonton is one of 14 weekly meeting spots for men to socialize and pursue shared interests. It is a part of the Canadian vision of a country where every man feels valued and engaged in his community while experiencing purpose, belonging, and well-being in his aging journey.
Shedders have set up independent meeting spaces for the purpose of putting their combined experience into good public service use, by helping to support and improve their communities and facilities. More importantly, they have fun and enjoy giving back. To learn more about the ‘Shedding movement’ in Canada visit Men’s Shed Canada.
