The Shriners Hospital for Children – Canada (French: Hôpital Shriners pour enfants – Canada; also known informally as the Montreal Shriner's Hospital) is the Canadian branch of the Shriners Hospitals for Children network. It is located in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Montreal, Quebec, at 1003 Decarie Boulevard. It overlooks downtown Montreal, and is close to Royal Victoria Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) hospital network, with which it is associated but not fully affiliated. The hospital was previously located at 1529 Cedar Avenue, which had outgrown its facilities, and since it was surrounded by Mount Royal Park, it could not expand in that location before being moved to the new location in 2015. The Shriner's Hospital for Children, along with McGill University was named number 1 in the world in expertise in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) with researchers Frank Rauch ranked #1 and Francis H. Glorieux #3 in global expertise in Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).

Oxford Park, Montreal

Oxford Park (French: Parc Oxford) is a park in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located in the southern part of the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighbourhood in the borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. While known informally as Oxford Park for many years, with activities operated by the Oxford Park Association, the City of Montreal formally named it the Georges-Saint-Pierre Park (French: Parc Georges-Saint-Pierre) during the 1990s in honour of the founder of the local Caisse Populaire Saint-Raymond, a community credit union. The park was made famous for its sporting tradition. Hockey greats as Doug Harvey, Howie Morenz, Kenny Mosdell and Fleming Mackell learned their crafts on the outdoor rink which was part of a larger neighbourhood house league, including such teams at Terrebonne Park, Benny Park, and Patricia Park. The park was also where boxing legend Johnny Greco played sports as a child. The park is bounded by Oxford, Upper Lachine, Old Orchard Avenue and Saint Jacques Street.The park was initially part of a farm owned by the Brodie clan, who bought the land after arriving from Scotland.After several generations the family sold to the city of Montreal in 1949 for $73,000 under the condition that the historic farmhouse would be turned into a library or facility for children. The city reneged on this clause and the stone building was demolished in the 1960s. The park was also home to a longstanding Italian Festival which was cancelled after the city added a controversial fenced-off plastic turf soccer field, which could get damaged during fireworks.
