Thanks to a generous donor, all Rossbrook House participants today have received orange t-shirts with Junior Staff/Rising Sun graduate Trinity’s design called ‘Nurturing the Child’.
Trinity told the Winnipeg Free Press Community Review: “When I was creating it, I thought of Indigenous culture and how Indigenous culture is important with Rossbrook (House’s) values. I actually got the Medicine Wheel symbol from artwork that’s basically on the ceiling, hanging from it. They have the colors of the Medicine Wheel. And I put it in a heart to symbolize community and love.”

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.
