Men's Depression and Suicide Network

  • The Men's Depression and Suicide Network is pleased to announce the launch of the Men's Sheds Association of Canada in partnership with Movember, The University of Manitoba, The University of British Columbia and our various community partners.

    Men’s Sheds are modern, shared versions of the home workshops that have long been part of the Canadian way of life. The Canadian Men’s Sheds Association is a peer-run group that aims to build relationships between Canadian sheds, help new ones get started, and raise awareness about the friendly, inclusive, and creative spaces that sheds can offer.

    In conjunction with the launch we are also hosting a photography contest. Submit photos from your Canadian shed for the chance to win an iPad or some gift cards. Winning entries will also be featured on the CMSA website. The contest will be open until February 29, 2016.
