Halloween is not just a one-day affair at Shriners Hospitals for Children – Canada. This year, two “very kind witches” from Oasis Temple , took the time to come visit patients, family and staff on the eve of Halloween with gifts and treats. Thank you for your wonderful spirit and generosity!

When it is Monday morning and you have to be at the hospital… the visit of Oasis Temple  with a candy bar brightens up your day! Thanks to the generosity of these wonderful ladies, children in the ambulatory care clinic had the opportunity to fill each finger of plastic gloves with some of their favorite candy. Children and parents on our inpatient unit also enjoyed this special treat and as a bonus, they were able to make magic wands with pretzels, sample some sparkly fairy bread and some surprise popcorn treats! It was fun and laughter all around and a great way to chase away the rainy Monday blues!
