raising $1,000,000 to find a cure;
AND WHEREAS Terry Fox, at the age of 21
and having had a leg amputated due to bone cancer, endeavored to run across
Canada, covering 5,373 kilometers over 143 days, the equivalent to a
42-kilometre marathon each day until he was forced to stop due to a recurrence
of cancer;
AND WHEREAS after the first 25 days,
and with growing encouragement from residents along the way, Terry Fox stopped
in Channel-Port aux Basques where that town alone raised $10,000;
AND WHEREAS the generous response from
people in Port aux Basques fired his imagination and a new fundraising goal of
one dollar for every Canadian was set;
AND WHEREAS in the past 36 years, more
than $650 million has been raised in Terry Fox's name to support cancer
research;
AND WHEREAS Terry Fox and his family
continue to be an inspiration to school children and communities throughout
Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and around the world;
AND WHEREAS Terry Fox's courageous
journey began in Newfoundland and Labrador and gave his dream a momentum that
endures;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Honourable
House supports the second Sunday after Labour Day in

MR. COLIN HOLLOWAY (Terra Nova) − To Move:
WHEREAS Newfoundland

generation of entrepreneurs to apply their skills;

innovation tool for advancing regional growth opportunities to benefit the
