There is an after-school meal waiting for the children and youth each weekday plus, brunch and a late afternoon meal on the weekends. Ages 6 to 24 are welcome. The students in the three off-campus school programs also have lunch made every school day.

A few youth went to the movies with Rossbrook House. They saw Black Phone 2. Beforehand they watched Black Phone at Rossbrook House. A little homework before going to the theatre!
Movie nights are a great way to relax and have been a part of Rossbrook House programs for decades! Throw in some popcorn or pizza and what could be better!

Halloween is such a fun time for children and youth. And Rossbrook House participants had a blast this year. From pumpkin carving to games and all kinds of activities at the annual dance. The Young Moms families enjoyed their own special outing to Boo at the Zoo, at Assiniboine Park & Zoo this year! 🎃👻
The Young moms program runs weekly at Rossbrook House. Learn more here: rossbrookhouse.ca/programming/young-mothers-program/

#TBT Throwing back to last Thursday’s Halloween dance at Rossbrook House. This annual event has been going on for decades. It’s an opportunity for the children and youth to dress up and have all kinds of fun.
Not only was the main hall decorated in outrageously spooky Halloween décor, but there were also games, great music, competitions, snacks and a photo booth!
Thank you to the staff for always making this such a great time for the participants.

The Rossbrook House necklace makes a special gift!
“I wanted to create something that represents Rossbrook House. I drew people holding hands to show Rossbrook’s vision. I wanted it to feel like Rossbrook House.”
Rossbrook House youth, Breanna, created the Rossbrook House necklace with Hilary Druxman. Proceeds from every purchase go towards programs for children and youth.
This sterling silver necklace is $40 and can be purchased online hilarydruxman.com/products/53n1-ross or at Hilary Druxman Design in Winnipeg.

50 Birthday Luncheon | Jan 20, 2026




























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.”
