Alouette Men's Shed

Today was a very rewarding day for the guys at our Men’s Shed
Our Parks and Recreation program called “Parent and Child” finished up with two of our little sponge’s completing their wall planter project
They got to take their project home with Dad (or Grampa) along with a special compact drill
The Guys had fun working with the kids teaching them some of tricks of the trade and little did we know about how difficult teaching is
What was also interesting was the number of people who were walking in the park and stopped by to find out just what Men’s Sheds were all about
A very special project that we hope we have the chance to do again

Yesterday we started working on a new project that has been the works for awhile
In conjunction with Maple Ridge Parks and Rec. We started a teaching program where a group of 3 young boys and one girl along with their parent came to learn about carpenter tools. Next week we will show them how to cut out the material for a wall mounted wall planter
We love how the little sponges absorb all of the information and continue to say give me more !
More to come next week

First day back to the Haney Farmers Market for 2026
What a spectacular day to be out and about in our community
Our Rooster planter was a hit
Many thanks to Jim and Wayne for all the hard work in bringing our exhibits to life
