Canadian icon Terry Fox to be featured on new $5 bill
OTTAWA — Terry Fox has been selected to appear on the next $5 bank note.
The federal government made the revelation in its fall economic statement on Monday.
Fox is a Canadian icon who campaigned for cancer research by running his Marathon of Hope in 1980.
An amputee himself after losing his leg to cancer, Fox’s marathon raised more than $24 million dollars — $1 for every Canadian at the time.
