About Us

Rosscarrock is bounded to the north by Bow Trail; to the east by 33rd Street; to the south by 17th Avenue, and to the west by 45th Street. Westbrook Mall is located in the north-east corner of the neighbourhood. We are the proud home of the Nicholls Family Library, located at the Westbrook LRT Station.
