Dear Friends of Terry Fox - We're thrilled to inform you that the City of Woodstock will once again be honouring the legacy and memory of Terry Fox by raising the
"Terry Fox" flag at Museum Square on Tuesday, September Ist at 9:00am. We won't be far from the spot where Terry spoke on July 16, 1980 when the Marathon of Hope stopped in the Friendly City🫶🏻🇨🇦
Mayor Jerry Acchione will read a proclamation in recognition of Terry Fox and his contributions towards cancer research after which the Mayor and our community run organizer will raise the Terry Fox flag. The Mayor will also read, and formally present the Proclamation during the Woodstock City Council meeting on September 3rd at 1:30pm in Council Chambers☺️📜
The flag raising ceremony in our city pays tribute to a courageous young man who united our country in 1980, and helped establish the path forward that has raised 1 billion dollars for cancer research since 1980!
Please join us for the flag raising ceremony and the City Council meeting. Bring your friends, family members and loved ones. We would love to see you as we come together as a community for this time honoured tradition.
