Terry Fox ran through Burlington as a part of his Marathon of Hope in July 1980. This granite monument tribute is the result of the work of a group of Burlington residents and local donors who came together to honour Fox’s legacy. The monument is located near Lakeshore Road, the route Fox took on July 13, 1980. The mile marker symbol was chosen to celebrate Burlington as the 3,582 kilometre point in his incredible journey. The monument was donated to the City of Burlington’s Public Art Collection by the Terry Fox Monument Committee.
