Smiles were seen all around as the cavalry from the SPVM visited patients and staff at the Montreal Children’s Hospital on Tuesday.

“This is an opportunity to bring a little magic,” said the hospital in a press release. “To the daily lives of hospitalized patients and their families during a difficult time.”

During this bright fall day in the city, the cavalry had a chance to meet with children outside the hospital.

They also made their way around the Glen site of the McGill University Health Centre.

“So that those who can’t leave their rooms,” explained the hospital. “Can still enjoy the show.”
