Terry Fox

The first Terry Fox Memorial at BC Place was an architectural abomination (in my humble opinion).
During the recent major renovation of the stadium Douglas Coupland was commissioned to create a new memorial. Coupland got it right (in my humble opinion).
The image on the screen is part of slide show.


Additional views of the memorial can be found on flickr.

Terry Fox deserves to be honoured. Money is still being donated to his cause many years after his death.

I live in Thunder Bay where we have a most beautiful memorial for Terry Fox not too far from the location where he ended his run... His name still gives me a lump in my throat....a true Canadian hero!

I got goose bumps looking at this pic. I can still see in my head the films of him loping along on his journey. He really was a hero. Wonderful post!
