Terry Fox Week

WHEREAS; On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox undertook his Marathon of Hope, moved by his experience in the cancer ward where a few children had given up on the hope of a cure; and,

WHEREAS; 2022 is the 42nd Anniversary of  The Terry Fox Run for Cancer research that has raised more than $850 Million, across Canada, and in over 50 countries throughout the world; and,

WHEREAS; As Terry said “I want to set an example that will never be forgotten. It’s going to keep going without me”; and,

WHEREAS; The Terry Fox Run will take place on Sunday, September 18, 2022, in Jubilee Park. This event gives Stony Plain an      opportunity to get involved in the efforts to find a cure for cancer, a disease whose devasting effects have been felt by so many  people. As Terry said “The answer is to try and help others”.

THEREFORE, I, Mayor William Choy, of the Town of Stony Plain, do hereby proclaim the week of September 12 to September 18, 2022 as “Terry Fox Week”.
