Welcome to the Victoria Men's Centre!

What we stand for

The Victoria Men's Centre is the physical representation of a supportive men's network. It is a place for men to gain support, companionship, and a place to share concerns and experiences in a spirit of brotherhood.

The Men's Centre is a friendly gathering place for individuals and groups of men to come together and explore ways of improving the world around them. It echoes the ancient pattern of a meeting place where in camaraderie men talk play games and tell stories.
