Rossbrook House Inc

Rossbrook House is a safe place for children and youth living in the inner-city of Winnipeg, to belong, play, learn and become… The late Sister Geraldine MacNamara (1938-84) articulated the guiding principle of Rossbrook House that “no child who does not want to be alone, should ever have to be” while receiving the Order of Canada (1983) for her work founding Rossbrook House (1976). Sr Mac would have been the first to say that Rossbrook House was never her dream but rather the dream and creation of the young people she met on the streets near her home in the inner-city of Winnipeg in the early 1970′s. Today, Rossbrook House provides programs, food, education, scholarships and a sense of belonging to children and youth who drop in. The doors of Rossbrook House remain open 365 days of the year and 24 hours during weekends and all school holidays. Right now, Rossbrook House remains open 24 hours for a safe place for youth to hang out, have a meal, us the computers, play pool and take shelter.
