Indigenous Way of Life Coordinator, Mitch, took youth from Rossbrook House and our neighbours at IRCOM (Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba) to the Manito Ahbee Petroforms at Bannock Point. A Knowledge Keeper shared creation stories and teachings of how the Indigenous Peoples are connected to the land. The participants also shared stories from each other's cultures. This outing was made possible with the support from the Winnipeg Foundation.
The Bannock Point Petroforms are located in the Whiteshell between Betula Lake and Nutimik Lake.

THANK YOU to all who donated new school supplies for the children and youth who drop in to Rossbrook House. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of Rossbrook House supporters! Thank you for the backpacks, crayons, pens, markers, binders, running shoes, calculators.... One neighborhood even got together to collect items and dropped off dozens of backpacks filled with supplies.
Parents selected from the wonderful amount of supplies last week so that their child was able to start off the year with what they needed!

Thank you to Cakes for Kids Winnipeg for ensuring that Rossbrook House children and youth receive a delicious cake (or cupcakes) for their birthdays. When this young lady turned 12, she was excited to both share her cake with her friends and to move into the Intermediates.
Rossbrook House has two levels for programs. Energy Plus (ages 6 to 11) and Intermediates (ages 12-17). When the children turn 12, they move into the Intermediates for outings, programs and activities. Each age group has their own area in the building (upper main hall for the Energy Plus & the basement for the youth) with video games and pool tables.

#TBT This weekend is the Teddy Bear’s Picnic at Assiniboine Park. For many years, volunteers from the Children’s Hospital would create a Teddy Bear’s Picnic for Rossbrook House children. Held at Rossbrook House, the volunteers would tend to their bear’s needs while also showing the participants various medical procedures, with the intention of making any future visits to the doctor seem less scary. ...

2025 Orange Shirts On Sale Now!
In 1976 Sister Geraldine MacNamara and a group of inner city young people created Rossbrook House, a neighbourhood drop-in centre with a simple mission: “No child who does not want to be alone, should ever have to be.”
