Thank you to all Rossbrook House staff who welcome the children and youth each day, and help to ensure that Rossbrook House remains a safe place to belong, play, learn and become…
Fall programming is in full swing. The Young Mothers’ program is running thanks to Coordinator, Lori. Participants are getting help with spelling, reading, and math in Learning Always, thanks to Sheila and Autumn. There are drop-in music lessons, van rides, cultural programs, daily meals being made in the Rossbrook House kitchen, and safe rides home each night.
Kody is sharing his love of sports and teaching the participants basketball skills, engaging them with soccer games, swimming outings, and a variety of fun programs. Kody started this past July as the Energy Plus (ages 6 to 11) Coordinator but has been involved with Rossbrook House as a participant since he was six years old.
“Rossbrook House provides a lot of opportunities, employment/volunteering, programs, outings and fun activities and has a family-like environment”, Kody said. “Rossbrook House sets a valuable example of what it is to be a community centre that not only provides for the youth but serves the community around them.”
In September, started in her new role as the Programs & Operations Manager. Since July 2020 Justine was the Management Support Coordinator but has a long history with Rossbrook House.
“As a past participant I was awarded many opportunities and experiences that I would have otherwise not had,” Justine said. “Two programs that have stuck with me are Mini University, where I made lifelong friends, and the Basketball Program run by the late Carl Ridd, Sister Margaret, and my mom Sheila Chippastance.”

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.”
