Inner-city youth centre to open 24 hours during summer
An inner-city youth centre will expand its operations to be open at all hours of the day during the summer. Rossbrook House announced it will be open 24 hours from June 27 until August 30. Located at the corner of Ross Avenue and Sherbrook Street, the neighbourhood drop-in centre provides safety, acceptance, programs and daily meals for up to 80 participants a day, according to a media release. The centre said it strives to 'always be a safe place for children and youth every day and 24 hours all summer long.' Programming will include a playroom for ages six to 11, camp for youth aged 12 and older, crafts, games, trips to the beach, and outings to local parks and pools. This will be the 49th year the centre has kept its doors open 24 hours throughout the summer months. Over 1,000 kids and young adults, aged six to 24, come through the centre's doors annually, according to its website. Rossbrook House has also called on the public to help ensure the longevity of its programs by making a financial donation. More information can be found on the centre's website.
