About the BC Shriners Variety Show
Established in 2008, the BC Shriners Variety Show has become an annual staple in BC communities. Bringing together new and unique acts by world class performers, the Variety Show strives to not only bring magic, comedy and jaw dropping illusions to those in our communities, but to help achieve the impossible for those who need it the most.
How We Make Magic Happen
Each year we present entirely new shows for families and friends to enjoy! From chainsaws, ventriloquism, and some truly head-scratching disappearing acts, the show is guaranteed to leave you full of excitement, wonder, and the knowledge that you helped make real magic happen for those who need it the most!
The Shriners Variety Show Helps Make Magic Happen
For children in BC and Yukon requiring medical attention for any orthopedic or other pediatric specialty condition, the Shriners provide transportation, accommodation, all associated medical treatment, and follow up. These are provided at Shriners Hospitals for Children.
Depending on a child’s diagnosis, care could be provided at any one of the Shriners Hospitals. However, the majority of children in BC and Yukon are treated at Shriners Children’s Hospitals in Montreal, Portland, and Spokane.
A physician’s referral is not necessary, however each case is reviewed by a Shriners Hospital doctor to determine the best course of treatment. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need. Wait times for appointments are relatively short.
