MEMBER'S STATEMENT

Honouring Terry Fox

Mr. Speaker, Thirty years ago today a young Terry Fox woke up, shook off the pain of his marathon run the day before and started Day Two of his Marathon of Hope.

He ran 143 consecutive marathons until he could not run any further.  His run was spectacular and he galvanized a nation. 

I was honoured yesterday to return to Newfoundland with the Member for Calgary Centre-North, Betty and Rolly Fox and Terry’s siblings Fred and Judith --- to announce that our Government will be creating a fitting historical park at the starting point, Mile Zero, of the Marathon of Hope.

I want to thank Donna Ball of St. John’s for bringing the idea of this park forward.  Like Terry Fox, she was thinking of others when she shared her dream.

We will appropriately honour the place where Terry dipped his leg into the Atlantic Ocean to start his Marathon of Hope.

Mr. Speaker, the Members of this House pay tribute to Terry Fox – a Canadian legend, a Canadian hero.
