No matter what the weather is doing, Rossbrook House is open 24 hours during Spring Break. Ages 6 to 24 can drop in anytime this weekend and all next week. There will be daily meals, activities and more! As you can see from the video, Rossbrook House participants were eager to shovel snow and help Mitch to clean the front walk. Very often you will find children and teens helping staff to set up activities. And on this day, they went above and beyond!

That is so good. Wish there was a place like that about 60 years ago for me, not in Winnipeg or Manitoba, I sure would have benefited from a place like this, no fault of my parent, just life’s circumstances. The kids that attend Rossbrook are so lucky (in one way) to have this place.
Grew up a few doors down on Elgin a Nun started it all what a sweet heart she was everyone welcomed

The Rossbrook House kitchen is not only used to make daily meals for children and youth, but the participants are also learning how to cook and bake, too! Cooking in the Kitchen is a favourite program for the youth. They recently made personal pan pizzas that included making pizza dough from scratch and learned how to ‘bloom’ the yeast. ...

Thank you, Minister Marcelino, for bringing together staff from local schools, the Winnipeg School Division, the Boys and Girls Club of Winnipeg, and Rossbrook House. It was a great discussion on how to keep our youth engaged over the summer by using local schools for drop-in programs and keeping them active and busy!

What was your favourite after-school snack? The 4:00 meal at Rossbrook House is lovingly referred to as ‘snack’ but is a filling meal. It is fuel for the children and youth to enjoy their evenings spent with their friends at Rossbrook House.

No Child Alone Dinner | Thursday, April 24, 2025
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.”
