New Exhibits
Beyond the Run: The Terry Fox Van of Hope Exhibit

Just ahead of the Terry Fox Run, scheduled for September 17 across the country, the Van Terry, his brother Darrell and friend Doug used on the Marathon of Hope, will open as an exhibit at Heritage Park! Terry was forced to end his run in Thunder Bay, Ontario after 143 days on the road, living in the van. The Exhibit will have text and images and seating for people to come and reflect on Terry’s run and the legacy that he left for all of those who continue to stand up to Cancer and those trying to find a cure.
