Nanaimo & District Men’s Shed

Join the Nanaimo & District Men’s Shed

The Nanaimo & District Men’s Shed is a group of men dedicated to staying connected and contributing to our community. Our focus is on shoulder to shoulder interaction, whether that is over a cup of coffee, on a walk, or working together on a project in the community.

If you are looking for a way to share your skills, meet new people, and give back to Nanaimo, we welcome you to join us.

What We Do

Our members stay involved through a regular schedule of social and community-focused activities:

• Weekly Coffee Meetings: A casual time to get together, catch up, and talk shop.
• Weekly Walking Group: Staying active while exploring the trails and parks around Nanaimo.
• Monthly Luncheons: A social highlight where we meet at various local spots for a meal and good conversation.
• Monthly Member Meetings: Where we coordinate our efforts, plan upcoming activities, and discuss the business of the Society.
• Community Service Projects: We put our collective skills to use helping local organizations. From small builds to fix-it projects, we believe in staying productive and helpful.
