What Happens in the Shed
Men’s Sheds is a grassroots mens-health movement grounded in the spirit of camaraderie and powered by community. Here in Edmonton, we have active men’s sheds around the city, and more to come.
While we help build and promote Edmonton’s men’s sheds, the members decide what happens in a shed. Some shedders like to hang out and watch hockey, while others like to tinker around with tools.
Each shed is a little different. But some things always stay the same:
– Men’s sheds are casual, positive spaces
– Men’s sheds are free to join
– You can do as you please (as long you’re respectful)

COVID-19 Plan
While COVID-19 has changed the way we gather, we are still committed to providing digital sheds for men to connect and socialize. The pandemic has forced us to move most of our in-person gatherings online, which has its advantages. Online sheds are easy to join, plus you don’t have to worry about commuting. Stay for five minutes or an hour. It’s up to you.
Once it’s safe to do so, we’ll be back in the sheds in no time.

FAQs
What is a Men’s Shed?

Not necessarily. The term “shed” is shorthand for any designated spot where we get together. It could be a community hall or even an online meeting.
What’s a shedder?
A shedder is a nickname for fellow shed members.

Nope. It doesn’t cost you a dime.
Who can become a shedder?
