Indigenous Way of Life Coordinator, Mitch, took a group of youth ice fishing. They went just past Selkirk near Sugar Island. You can see from the photos that they not only had a great time; they also were triumphant and caught some fish!

For decades, Rossbrook House has been taking participants to local ice rinks to learn how to skate or to practice their hockey skills. Ice Time with Rossbrook House is still happening today- it’s a great way for the children and youth to have fun with their friends and ‘support’ each other as they practice their skating skills!

#TBT Pizza pool was a favourite activity in the early days of Rossbrook House. Legend has it that the hungrier the player, the harder they played to win. Pool is still played, every day, at Rossbrook House and on some days, the winner of a tournament will get their own pizza!
Many former participants have shared their memories:
“I remember pizza pool when I was a kid. My friend lived in the house that was next door (1983) and we would go to Rossbrook because that's where everybody went.”-Rachel
“I remember winning and having a whole box to share with friends.” -David
“My stepdad was the ultimate champ. When I was young boy in the 90s, he would always bring home a good pizza after his pool tournaments.” -Justin
“I learned a lot about pool when I worked there…learned about deadly ‘shapes’ and ‘cuts’. Best job I ever had.” -Regina

#TBT Sister Lesley Sacouman (Sister of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary) is a former Executive Co-Director of Rossbrook House, and she remembers January 20, 1984, as being the last time that Sister Geraldine MacNamara visited Rossbrook House.
“Sister Mac was so sick at this time”, she said. “Staff went down to 588 (Ross Avenue) to pick her up and bring her to Rossbrook House. She was only able to say a few sentences to the group. It was a moment of deep memory and gratitude for her and us. She died exactly one month later.”
Pictured is staff carrying Sister Gerry’s coffin during her funeral.

Last week participants had competitions in a variety of indoor and outdoor sports during the annual Winter Games. This long-standing tradition at Rossbrook House lasts for a week and is a favourite for many. There is the epic tug o’ war, arm and leg wrestling, toboggan races and more. The week is capped off with an awards night where the winners in their categories receive medals.
