Cochrane and
Area Men's Shed
A Community of Active Men
A Community of Active Men
A safe and friendly environment where men can work on meaningful projects — at their own pace, in their own time, in the company of other men.
What is a
Men’s Shed?
Most men have learned not to talk about feelings and emotions – as such, they don’t take an interest in their own health and well-being. Becoming a member of a Men’s Shed provides a safe and productive environment where men can find many of these things in an atmosphere of old-fashioned friendship. And, more importantly there is no pressure. Men can just come and have a coffee or dig in and work on a project.
What We Do
At the Shed, we take on a variety of projects that bring men together, build skills, and support our community:
Community Projects
We use our skills in support of local charitable organizations—helping with hands-on carpentry and woodworking projects that make a difference.
Personal Projects
Members work on their own or collaborate with others to create projects for themselves, their families or the community—sharing skills, learning new techniques, and enjoying the creative process.
Enterprise Projects
On occasion, we work together on projects that generate income to help fund the Shed’s programs and daily operations—supporting our space and our mission.
Projects for the Shed
From building tables to tool storage, these projects improve our shared space and make the Shed an even better place to be.
