June is Men's Mental Health Month.

Su***de remains one of the leading causes of death for Canadian men and is the second leading cause of death for many younger men between the ages of 15 and 39.

Behind every statistic is a son, father, brother, friend, coworker, teammate, or neighbour.

The reality is that too many men are struggling in silence.

That is why conversations matter.

That is why connection matters.

That is why programs like our Men's Support Group, Men's Shed initiative, and Tough Enough To Talk About It exist.

If there is a man in your life you have been meaning to check in on, make today the day.

A simple conversation could mean more than you realize.

Hi! We have had a number of inquiries about our shed today. We limit attendance to 18 years and older, although we have hosted youth who brought their own chaperones. The Men’s Shed movement is a 30 year movement that is world wide. We acknowledge that men interact with each other differently than women do. Our membership is primarily 65 to 75 year old men simply because the stage of life they are at, they have time on their hands but have a feeling of a lack of purpose. We welcome anyone who presents, or identifies as male. We have members of the LGBTQ+ community, intellectual and physical disabilities as well as personalities that are find it difficult to interact in mainstream society. Women are CRUCIAL to the success of the men’s shed. 90 percent of men that come to the shed are sent by a wife, daughter or friend.

Jack had spent much his life hiding who he was and was tired of it....

We are 35% of the way there. 💙

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, and community supporters, we have now raised $17,500 toward our $50,000 Men's Shed campaign goal.

We are deeply grateful for every contribution made so far.

A Men's Shed is more than a building. It is a place where men can connect, share skills, build friendships, find purpose, and support one another through life's challenges.

The support we have received tells us our community believes in that vision too.

We still have $32,500 to raise and are actively looking for additional sponsors to help bring the Men's Shed to life.

If your business or organization would like to help create a lasting impact for men's mental health and connection in our community, we would love to hear from you.

Did you know?

A 2025 national survey found that 23% of Canadian men were identified as being at risk of moderate to severe depression.

Behind every statistic is a father, son, brother, friend, coworker, or neighbour.

Too often, men struggle in silence because they feel they need to handle things on their own.

Men's Mental Health Month is a reminder that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength.

If you are struggling, know that support is available. If someone in your life comes to mind when you read this, take a moment to check in with them today.
