Richard was sharing about the Men’s Shed Movement at another community of people that gives people a place to go, something to do, someone to talk to. Lots of good questions and conversations.

Richard Nasedkin from the Men's Shed was our guest speaker. The Men's Shed is a welcoming space where men of all ages can come together to share skills, engage in hands-on projects, and foster friendships.

First Choice Electric Supply store has supported the shed from day one! Anytime we needed electrical work they have supplied the materials and even lined up electricians to help us. We have a silent auction of a coffee table at First Choice, stop in and make a bid!

It’s Tray Tuesday! (Oct 6) we are here until 3 pm. We build Cremation Trays for Bear Creek Funeral Home & Cremation Sanctuary. The money we raise pays our Utilities. But more importantly great conversations about death, life and friendship. A few of our members who have died, were cremated on our trays.

Well, we were literally in The Dog House this summer. We worked with Tsintah Siberian Husky Rescue and Pet Food Bank Society by building these custom dog shelters. Their supporter Ed drove down to pick them up. Tsintah supplied the materials, we provided the expertise. We had guys visit from Pioneer Lodge to help assemble and Paint, and our neighbours at Double V Detailing provided brute strength to help load them: community action!

We aren’t just about coffee and sawdust. Today is a live video session on what we can do to support members who have a dementia, or support guys whose spouse is developing dementias. Thank you for organizing this Men’s Sheds Canada

We don’t share a lot of reels. But there are a few that Neil shares about the challenges of retirement. If you are retired, and looking for purpose, or simply a place to go, please stop by for coffee.

Today is International Su***de Awareness Day. Today we a particularly grateful to our backbone charity Resource Centre for Su***de Prevention - RCSP. Our Men’s Shed is about Mental Fitness more than Mental Health. If you broke your leg, you wouldn’t go to the gym to get better. However, if you regularly exercised and lived a healthy lifestyle, like go to the gym, you might prevent breaking you leg. The Shed is like going to the gym. Men don’t make quality friendships easy. The friends they have often are at work. So, when a man transitions from work: retirement, lay off, medical leave, widower, they are significantly more prone to loneliness, isolation and depression. If you have a man in your life who has time on his hands or feels he has nothing to contribute, please bring him to the shed for coffee! To those grieving the loss of a loved one to su***de, we grieve with you.
