New Men's Shed Program in Chestermere

June 13, 2024

While this isn't a youth or family program, we feel it is important information to share men in our community. 

The City of Chestermere is offering a new program dedicated to reducing men's social isolation and producing positive community impacts. Men's Sheds are a casual place for men to meet, socialize, gather and work on rewarding projects. It provides a safe, friendly and welcoming environment where men can engage in hands-on activities. A shed offers men an alternate way to reach out and avoid feelings of isolation.

Learn new skills:
Teach new skills, find opportunities, and learn new interests. Promote one's physical and mental health by being involved with others! It's a place where one can learn, teach, talk or just have a coffee.

Activities may include:

  • Bike/bike repair
  • Woodworking, metalworking
  • Auto repair
  • Cooking
  • Tech workshops
  • Garden
  • Home repair
  • Walking and hiking
  • Music
  • Health-related discussions.
