The Lumby Men’s Shed was excited to host Doug Mackie when he came from Manitoba to meet with members recently.
Mackie started the very first Men’s Shed in North America. He was 67 at the time when his daughter Lisa, from Saskatoon, discovered the concept during a chat with a woman from Australia.
Inspired, Lisa called her father encouraging him to start a local shed which he did in Winnipeg in 2011.
From there they have spread across Canada and the US.
Come and meet some Shedder at Jitter Beans every Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.
