Recorded Webinar: The Men’s Shed Movement Around the World
This webinar was held on November 2nd, 2021.
A Men’s Shed is a community-based group that provides a safe, friendly, inclusive environment to gather and participate in activities. The purpose of a Men’s Shed is to advance health and well-being of members and foster positive engagement within their community, for the benefit of the community. This session covered how the Men’s Shed movement, which started in Australia in the 1990’s, has expanded to many countries, including Canada, now with approximately 2800 Men’s Sheds worldwide. You’ll also hear how the Men’s Shed Association of British Columbia is supporting the growing.
