Monday, Sept 15 from 11-12pm at Glenwood CC Two courts have been reserved for homeschoolers to try out Pickleball. Let’s try this out and if there is more interest, we can reserve more times and split the group. The total price is $30 for the hour and two courts, we can see who comes and split the price accordingly.
Also, while the weather is good, Tuesday Community Homeschool Meet-ups is at 1 Sir John Franklin Rd. There are tennis courts and we can play there if anyone is interest in joining. Balls and paddles are there to borrow most weeks with exception to this week as there is MASH Camping Week.
September is upon us and we are doing it right this year! MASH has put together a year-at-a-glance. These are the MASH events for the 2025-2026 academic calendar year. Hope this will help homeschoolers plan out their year and join in more MASH events!

MASH Facebook Member Spring Cleaning
Spring cleaning time! The MASH Facebook Group aims to connect Manitoba Homeschoolers and, from time to time, needs to ensure that members of this group are current homeschoolers. To this end, ALL Facebook members of the MASH Facebook Group will be asked to rejoin on May 1st (May Day). If you are a current homeschooler and on our Facebook, please rejoin as YOU are the community we are striving to support. See you soon!
PS. Information about Winnipeg Homeschoolers Facebook Group and MASH Teen Facebook Group.
Winnipeg Homeschoolers Facebook Group MASH will not longer be administering the Winnipeg Homeschoolers Facebook Group. As of March 31, Winnipeg Homeschoolers become unaffiliated with MASH.
MASH became administrators as a large number of previous MASH Advisory Team members were already members of the Winnipeg Homeschoolers Facebook Group. They took this Facebook group under their wing. Now the current Advisory Team would like to give this group back to the community.
The MASH Teen Facebook Group was started by the previous MASH Advisory Team. The current Advisory Team feels that this group is not very active and the information a some what redundant with the main MASH Facebook group. In order to minimize administration burdens and free up more time to focus in other areas, we have decided to close this group.

The mandatory school age has been changed to age 6 as of March 2024. However, the Homeschooling Office has waived that requirement for this current school year. The Homeschooling Office website will be updated for the 2025-26 school year indicating that parents must notify (send in student notification forms) and provide reports for children ages 6-18 in June.
This is just trying to help inform homeschoolers earlier.
If any questions, you can call 204-945-8138 or email [email protected] to contact the Homeschooling Office or email MASH at [email protected].
Here is an old news article of that change for reference:
Our 2025 MASH Conference: Bravely Optimistic would not be same without these sponsors. We are so thankful to the sponsors that are so willing to support us! THANK YOU!
