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 participated in the Terry Fox School Run by learning about Terry’s story and running, walking, or wheeling to show support. Thank you to all who joined in the Run or donated to the cause!

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