Across Canada, Men’s Sheds are giving older men connection, purpose, and better health.

Many thanks to veteran health journalist Avis Favaro and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) for this important conversation on men's healthy aging.

New national research presented at last week's ShedFest West gathering in Edmonton is helping inform the growing national conversation on men’s and boys’ health in Canada. The findings demonstrate the measurable impact community-based Men’s Sheds can have on social connection and mental wellbeing among older men.

As the Canada prepares to develop its first national men’s health strategy, the research highlights the important role preventative, peer-based community spaces can play in reducing isolation and supporting healthier aging.

Feeling connected matters — yet over a third of older Canadians report weak social networks and more than half experience loneliness.

The insights come from the just-released 2025 Ageing in Canada Survey by the National Institute on Ageing and highlight the ongoing challenges of social isolation and the importance of strong networks.

Men’s Sheds Canada is working to change that by providing spaces where older men can share skills, connect with others, and contribute to their communities. Read our blog for more on the survey:
