2026 No Child Alone Dinner
January 18, 2026
Help us celebrate 50 years of Rossbrook House!
Rossbrook House Foundation is hosting the No Child Alone Dinner
on Thursday, April...
#FBF Flashback Friday to Cold City Warm Hearts. The event coming up next week will the 8th annual ‘Cold City, Warm Hearts’. Each winter participants from Rossbrook House and IRCOM’s (Immigrant & Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba) after-school program meet at FortWhyte Alive for outdoor fun.
“Cold City, Warm Hearts is one of our favourite winter traditions at FortWhyte Alive. It’s a chance for kids to simply be kids as they play, laugh and spend time outdoors together. At FortWhyte, we’re proud to provide a safe and welcoming space where young people can explore, be active and have fun,” said Liz Wilson, President and CEO of FortWhyte Alive.
FortWhyte Alive will once again generously open their doors for an evening of winter activities for up to 80 youngsters to celebrate winter, make new friends, and learn about the wonders of a Canadian winter. Thanks to the volunteers and staff from the three organizations, the children will snowshoe, go down the thrilling toboggan run, and have a marshmallow roast. It’s an evening we look forward to each year.

The top points-getters during the Winter Games at the end of January receive certificates and medals! Rossbrook House is grateful to Play All Awards for providing the medallions, free of charge, for the Winter and Summer Games for YEARS! Thank you, Sherry, at PlayAll Awards for being so generous.
Recently Sherry mentioned that she used to work in a medical office near Rossbrook House, before joining her father in the family business full-time, and she met many children who told her about Rossbrook House and what they liked about attending. So, she has known about us for years… and has been a big-hearted supporter!

Delicious meals continue to be made every day- 7 days a week- in the Rossbrook House kitchen. Children and youth can have a filling meal at the end of the school day, as well as up to 3 meals a day on weekends. There are often special treats being made, too, like candied grapes the other evening. Junior Staff also work in the kitchen and participants can learn to bake and cook as well.

February is I Love to Read Month. ❤ The participants in the Learning Always program have regular volunteers who help them with their reading. Recently they each read a book and did book reports. Thank you to Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba Book Market for the recent donation of several dozens of books! The children are enjoying them.

The Young Mothers’ Program runs weekly at Rossbrook House giving moms time to socialize with their peers. They also learn from each other and special guests, do crafts or go out while their children are babysat at Rossbrook House. Recently they went for manicures, a relaxing and special outing for these busy moms!
This program has been running for decades! Our friends at Harrow United Church gave a donation of items that included beautiful hand-knitted baby doll outfits from crafter Linda, with the dolls, as well as socks, a baby blanket, some stuffies, and more. Thank you, Harrow United Church, Winnipeg .
