This issue celebrates Port Coquitlam’s own hometown hero, Terry Fox. I had no idea how popular the Terry Fox Run had become over the years. Many schools have started their own runs for the kids and there are a number of international runs in places like England, Hong Kong, Peru and Croatia, to name a few. It’s amazing to see the impact Terry Fox had on this world.
