519-661-2489, extension 4009 ahopkins@london.ca An Update From Anna Hopkins Our Ward 9 City Councillor
Welcome back! September has a way of nudging us into fresh routines— back to school, signing up for community classes, and finally joining those
clubs we’ve been meaning to try “next year.”
It’s also a month that brings us together for annual fundraising events, including the 45th Anniversary Terry Fox Run on September 14 at Springbank Gardens. Opening ceremonies begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Guy Lombardo Pavilion. Over the years, Lon- doners’ participation and generosity have raised $4.5 million for cancer research. Leading up to the run, a bottle drive will be held on September 6 at Kellogg’s Lane, with proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation in support of the London run. Byron shares a special connection to this event. One of its early settlers, Ron Calhoun, played a key role in organizing the original 1980 Marathon of Hope. Though Ron has since passed, you can find his commemorative bench near the Terry Fox Parkway—a lasting reminder of his dedication.

This interactive installation invites you to walk in Terry’s footsteps and experience, in a small way, the chal- lenge he faced. I look forward to seeing you at this and many other events this fall as we rally behind the charities, clubs, and organizations that give so much back to our city.
