Terry Fox was a cancer patient who ran 5,373 km across Canada in just 143 days before he died.
Terry thrilled the entire country. His goal was to receive one Canadian dollar for every Canadian in the population (then 24 million people), and he achieved his goal by raising 24.17 million Canadian dollars in February 1981.
A year after Terry Fox's death, the Terry Fox Foundation was created, which promotes amateur races across Canada and in several countries to support the fight against cancer.
According to the Terry Fox Foundation, more than C$715 million has already been raised for cancer research on Terry Fox's behalf.

Did you know... sugar beets are NOT the same as red beets! Although they are the same species, (Beta vulgaris), sugar beets are in the cultivar group Beta vulgaris Altimus. Canadian sugar beets are the only source of domestic sugar! #SugarBeets #AlbertaSugarBeetGrowers #ABSugar22

#cdnag Farmers need a pause on the carbon tax April 1!
@KodyBloisNS
Ontario is standing with farmers and food processors against the carbon tax. Together Ontario's agriculture and food industry is calling on the federal Liberal government to pause the 23% carbon tax hike as a first step towards eliminating this tax. #OntAg #GrowingONTogether

Today, I released a statement responding to the United States’ plans to implement ‘Product of USA’ voluntary labelling on meat, poultry and eggs.
Alberta is not only a world-class supplier of these commodities, but our province is also renowned for our exceptional quality, safety, and sustainability.
Our producers and processors work tirelessly to uphold these standards and our government will always stand up for them.
