About Men’s Sheds Ontario


The Mission of Men’s Sheds Ontario is to support existing Men’s Sheds in Ontario and help establish Sheds in additional communities.

MSO has no control over, or responsibility for, any individual Shed. Sheds at their option become members of MSO. Our objectives are:

1) To represent the interests of Men’s Sheds in Ontario (MSO) and individual sheds to provincial bodies
2) To support established Sheds within the province & build a network among them
3) To provide support and resources for emerging Sheds in Ontario
4) To maintain a provincial registry of established and emerging sheds
5) To raise public awareness of the social, physical and emotional health benefits of Men’s Sheds
6) To provide benefits to member Sheds, notably including liability insurance
7) To develop strategic alliances with key organizations in the province
8) To host Provincial Conferences

Our provincial association of Sheds is all about supporting a local Sheds’ mission, to enhance the health and well-being of men, including physical, mental, emotional and social well-being. Sheds fulfill this mission by providing peer support, a place to call home away from home, a range of fun group activities to enjoy life, the opportunity to work on projects that improve the community and a sense of accomplishment when projects are complete.
