Kevin brings a commitment to community and leadership development through his dedication to education, training, and employment.

He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba, representing Point Douglas, and was appointed to Cabinet as Minister of Children and Youth Opportunities in 2012, Minister responsible for the City of Winnipeg in 2013, and Minister of Jobs and the Economy in 2014.

Performance by Sierra Noble:
The evening will include an exciting live performance by Sierra Noble.

Meet our co-hosts:
The dinner will be hosted by Colleen Simard and Dale Turcotte.
Colleen is Anishinaabe, Cree, and Swedish. She was once a Rossbrook House participant. Today she is a volunteer Rossbrook H
ouse Board Director and is studying Fine Arts. She also is the creator of Littlefeather, a casual Indigenous clothing line.
“Co-hosting the event is an amazing way to give back and connect with young people like Dale, the staff of Rossbrook House, and the people that donate and believe in what Rossbrook House is doing for youth, families, and our city. I am humbled and honoured to be a co-emcee,” Colleen said.
Dale has been dropping in to Rossbrook House since he was 8 years old. Today he is 14 and is a proud member of the Junior Staff team, his first job.
“I spoke at the fundraising dinner in 2019, it will be a pleasant experience getting back up on that stage. Rossbrook House has been a second home for me ever since the day I stepped in those doors as an 8-year-old kid,” Dale said.
The pair will help to bring Rossbrook House to the venue, as they share their stories and experiences.
