#TBT to last Tuesday and Orange Shirt Day. Rossbrook House and several youth took part in the Healing Walk from The Forks to the Convention Centre where they also attended the Pow Wow.
Rossbrook House youth wore orange shirts that were generously paid for by a donor who wanted all Rossbrook House participants to have orange shirts for this meaningful day. The artwork was created by Trinity, a recent Rising Sun graduate.
Trinity told WFP Community Review West about her artwork for the shirts: “I actually got the Medicine Wheel symbol from this artwork that’s basically on the ceiling, hanging from it. They have the colors of the Medicine Wheel. And I put it in a heart to symbolize community and love.”
She also said that the design ‘depicts an Indigenous youth, which could be interpreted as a boy or a girl, as well as a survivor of residential schools, or even a youth attending Rossbrook (House)’.
Rossbrook House is grateful to the many talented artists who share their art.

On September 25 and 26, Rossbrook House attended ‘Rise Up: Youth Leadership Days’ with two of the youth. They toured the legislative building and met with the Honourable Wab Kinew, Premier of Manitoba, where they were invited to ask questions. They listened to keynote speaker Kevin Chief and the Anishinaabemowin Choir from Riverbend School and the drum group Peaceful Village. They also participated in an interactive art celebration with the Graffiti Art Gallery. Memorable days for sure! ... See MoreSee Less
