Smithers Events

Everyone is welcome.

Members of the FRASER LAKE MEN'S SHED will be coming to share their experience and enthusiasm.

Men's Sheds are all about healthy men, their families and their community. The first Men's Shed was started by a woman 30 years ago in South Australia. There are about 50 Men's Sheds in BC. 126 in Canada and 3,000 worldwide. Started by people like you.

Women are welcome to attend the information meeting. If you have a husband under your feet, a grandfather, farther, brother, son, uncle or friend who might like to work shoulder to shoulder, doing stuff (for themselves and the community) when they are not fishing, mountaineering or watching tv, bring them along.

Oh! Men, you are welcome as well and importantly, anyone who has an interest in men's health in any capacity, your support and encouragement will be very important to the new Men's Shed.

At this meeting you will learn what happens in a Men's Shed, how the FRASER LAKE MEN'S SHED got established and how some of the 50 other British Columbia Men's Sheds got off the ground. It's not that hard and there is great support available. Men's Sheds are a fun place to hang out, a place where it is easy to make friends. It just takes a few good men to get it started (with a little help from their friends).
