Men’s Shed

The Men’s Shed is a very unique activity offered at the Aurora Seniors Centre. We are part of an international organization first founded in Australia. Our Men’s Shed started in in 2003 and continues to grow. We now have 50 plus members.

Men’s Shed is a place for retired men to gather, enjoy a variety of activities, listen to various presentations, perhaps partake in some light exercise but primarily meet with other men in an atmosphere of companionship, even if it’s just to share a cup of coffee and chat. It’s a safe and inviting environment for retired men to socialize and perhaps make new friends. We even have opportunities to share a lunch together off site from time to time.

We are proud to say that we also participate in various community projects. We have assisted in the Poppy Drive, helped with the Salvation Army Kettle and raised funds for local charities. Though we are retired we still have much to offer our community and now we have the time to do it. That is a bond that unites us.

Currently, we are meeting every Monday morning from 10:00 – 11:30 AM and on Friday from 9:30 – 11:00. During some seasons we offer activities such as Bocci and Carpet Bowling. This is a grassroots organization so activities are determined in part by the members.

Please drop in, meet the guys and see what it’s all about.
