An update from Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor
Welcome back!

Though Ron has since passed, you can find his commemorative bench near the Terry Fox Parkway—a lasting reminder of his dedication. London’s tribute to Terry’s legacy also includes the Terry Fox Memorial at Greenway Park, created in 2017 as part of Canada
