Mackay marked International Men’s Day on Wednesday 13 February 2026 at Souths Leagues Club, celebrating the sixth year of the event organised by Mackay Shed Happens.
Proudly sponsored by DGH Engineering and supported by Daly Bay Coal Terminal, the morning recognised the positive impact men make in the community as fathers, colleagues, mates, and role models.
Attendees enjoyed good food, engaging conversation, and guided table discussions on discrimination against men in social services, societal expectations, and the law, while highlighting men’s health, wellbeing, and meaningful connections.
A special congratulations went to Charlie Jones (DBCT), who received a Weber BBQ after winning the door prize at the celebratory breakfast.
Organisers also thanked Member for Mackay, Nigel Dalton, for donating the BBQ, as well as everyone who bought tickets and supported the event.
