TORONTO, November 29, 2023 – CNA Canada is proud to deliver  a new Starlight Fun Center at the Scarborough Health Network - General Hospital in the Greater Toronto Area.

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 for every kid, which can be updated annually to stay up to date with what’s popular. Internet ready, these units allow kids in the hospital to stay in touch with their friends and family and give them a bit of normal down 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.

“It is always rewarding to see the impact initiatives like Starlight Fun Centers have on the emotional well-being of families who are going through some of the toughest times of their lives,” says Starlight Canada CEO Brian Bringolf. “We constantly look for new ways to make life just a little bit easier for both sick children and their families, and are so grateful to have the support of CNA Canada to make these programs a reality. We are thrilled that the team at CNA has selected Scarborough General Hospital as the recipient of their unit. This gift will bring happiness and smiles to their pediatric patients for many years to come.”
