Mayor henry Wiebe was happy to see so much interest within the community
Burns Lake is soon set to get its own Men’s Shed, thanks to the efforts of residents Darryl Hutcheon, Mark McLoughlin and Linda Uchacz.
The Men’s Shed community is a modern version of the traditional basement or garage workshop. Its idea is to increase well-being by fostering social connections, self-esteem, and healthy living. The shed is not a building but a network of relationships within the community. Burns Lake Mayor Henry Wiebe said, “I’ve been thinking about starting a Men’s Shed or helping to start one here in Burns Lake for quite a few years, and I kind of kept an eye for location.”
Jan Fennema, FLAMSS president, firmly believes that every community, no matter how big or small, needs a Men’s Shed to help with mental healthcare.
