HELPING KIDS WITH FREE MEDICAL CARE SINCE 1922

The Shriners are a dedicated group of men who are supporting our network of 22 hospitals for kids throughout North America. There are currently many patients from Alberta being treated at various Shrine Hospitals, including the Canadian hospital in Montreal. We have a number of units from our Shrine, including our Mounted Patrol, who perform a musical ride at various venues throughout Stampede week, our airplanes, Tin Lizzies, our Provost Corps and our newest edition, our Segway patrol.

We also have members of the masonic community, from where the Shriners draws their members. The Shriners are also active in the community, providing bursaries for post secondary students in need.
