Beyond clowns, tasselled hats, and little motorcycles, Shriners is a philanthropic organization providing pediatric health care for children without regard to race, colour, creed, sex, sect, disability, national origin or ability of a patient or family to pay.

Shriners Hospitals provide vital, pioneering treatment from birth to age 18. Here, children have the opportunity to be evaluated and treated by doctors recognized as the best by their peers. Shriners of BC and Yukon helps coordinate patient care, travel, and accommodation expenses for local families needing treatment at regional facilities like those in Portland, Spokane, or Montreal.
