Where is the Kamloops District Men’s Shed? Where do you meet and work on projects?

As of late summer 2024, KDMS is located within the Kamloops Seniors’ Community Centre. KDMS remains grateful for the generosity of local business KVA Mechanical, which offered an area for the initial workshop and gathering space of the Men’s Shed.
