MONTREAL, Nov. 17, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Once again this year, the Karnak Shriners and the Shriners Hospital for Children® - Canada will participate in the frenzy of the Santa Claus Parade this Saturday, November 18th. The Karnak Shriners are part of the Montreal landscape and have long been popular figures of the city's various parades. This Saturday, they will roll their antique train preceded by the bagpipes and drums. As for the hospital float, it will pull away at 11 am with patients and their families on board. Starting in 3rd position, this float is the symbol of our patient and family centered care that guides all actions of the hospital.

All of our great team is excited to share with the crowd the spirit of Christmas that will animate downtown Montréal during this wonderful day for youngsters and adults.

Our hospital would like to thank Urgence-Santé and The Santa Claus Parade (Destination Centre-Ville) for hosting a group of our patients in the VIPs section. Our patients will be able to fully enjoy the Star Fairy, Santa Claus and all the characters that make up this great annual celebration marking the beginning of the holiday season.

From November 23 to 26, Holiday festivities continue with the FEZtival of Trees of the Karnak Shriners. For more information please visit www.Feztivaloftrees.com.
