The Terry Fox Humanitarian Awards – Application Opens
The Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program was established in 1982 in honour of Terry Fox, one of Canada’s most beloved heroes. Upon his passing on June 28, 1981.
The award itself reads:
In recognition of having demonstrated the highest ideals and qualities of citizenship and humanitarian service while in pursuit of excellence in academic, amateur sport, fitness, health, and voluntary community service. In so doing has reflected those ideals of courage, humanitarianism, service and compassion, which Terry Fox embodied.
Our hope at the Terry Fox Humanitarian Program is to honour the legacy of Terry Fox by edifying and creating a spark in Canadians to continue the work that Terry started, those who not only believe in a better world but strive to contribute and, in doing so, emulate Terry Fox’s legacy.
