Ottawa Carleton District School Board

Every fall, students and staff members across the district participate in the Terry Fox Run. This event carries on the legacy of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope and raises vital funds for cancer research. 

This year, many OCDSB schools safely participated in the Terry Fox School Run by running, walking and learning about Terry’s story. Thank you to all who joined in the Run or donated in support of cancer research! 

Here’s a look back at how some of our schools took part:

Terry Fox Run 2021! We are so proud of our school community for continuing to support Terry Fox’s legacy in the fight against cancer. $425 raised by the Wolf Pack so far! Way to go, BPS. @OCDSB @TerryFoxCanada @TFFSchoolRuns pic.twitter.com/yHYSv2N4cp
