PRESS RELEASES

TORONTO, December 17, 2024 – CNA Canada is proud to deliver a new Starlight Fun Center at the Montreal Children’s Hospital.

The Starlight Fun Center is a mobile entertainment unit featuring a flat screen television and a Nintendo Switch gaming system preloaded with a wide variety of games, which can be updated annually to stay up to date with what’s popular. Internet ready, these units allow children in the hospital to stay in touch with their friends and family and provide them with a sense of normalcy and fun time to watch their favourite movies, check their social media and much more.

Many seriously ill children may be limited to their hospital bed, but the Starlight Fun Center provides endless hours of bedside entertainment to help kids take their mind off the sick and focus on the fun.

"Starlight Fun Centers make a world of difference for families navigating some of their toughest moments through childhood illness," says Starlight Canada CEO Brian Bringolf. "Our mission is to ease the emotional strain on children and families during their most difficult times, and with the generous support of CNA Canada, we can continue to deliver joy and normalcy to hospitalized kids. We are thrilled that CNA has chosen Montreal Children’s Hospital to receive this gift, knowing it will bring lasting smiles and hope to the children and families who need it most."
