A big group went to the corn maze in St Adolphe. It was fun to not only go through the maze but there were lots of farm animals to see. A wonderful fall-time outing for all ages! #outing #fall #cornmaze #programs

#TBT When Sister Gerry received the Order of Canada on Oct 13, 1983, she shared these words with the nation: ‘no child who does not want to be alone, should ever have to be’. Her words have guided all involved with @Rossbrook ever since. youtu.be/g5t3qISTtA0
