Terry Fox

This room is a tribute to the most inspirational Canadian—a symbol of courage, determination, and hope. Terry Fox celebrates the enduring legacy of a young man who set out to run across Canada on one leg to raise money for cancer research, and in doing so, united a nation. Here you’ll find the songs we've discovered so far that honour his journey, his spirit, and the impact he continues to have on generations of Canadians. Music inspired by a true hero.
