The Centennial Community BBQ took place on September 20. Despite the heavy rains, the barbecue went on inside Rossbrook House. It was an opportunity for the community to learn more about the organizations that hosted it.
Thank you to Central District Commander Helen Peters and members of the Cadet Unit for being there. There was a bouncy house, face painting, Pow Wow dancing, food and lots of fun for everyone who braved the rain outside.
The annual barbecue is hosted by the City of Winnipeg, Rossbrook House, IRCOM (Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba), and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Winnipeg.

A fun outdoor game that youth are playing at Rossbrook House is called Jackpot.
One person throws a football to a group of people. The person throwing the ball yells out a number. The person who catches the ball gets those points. They continue until they reach 10,000. It’s a simple and fun way to be active outdoors with your friends.
