The City of Port Coquitlam is set to celebrate the legacy of one of Canada’s most inspiring figures with the unveiling of Gateway of Giants — a brand-new public art installation dedicated to Terry Fox.
Taking place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, this special ceremony will honour the 45th anniversary of the legendary Marathon of Hope, the cross-country run that captured hearts across the nation.
The installation will be revealed at 11:00am in the plaza outside 2150 Wilson Avenue in Port Coquitlam, steps from where Terry grew up. The event promises to be a moving tribute to his determination, courage, and impact on cancer research awareness.
Guests will be joined by members of the Fox family, along with a celebratory program that brings the community together in reflection and pride. Whether you’ve been inspired by Terry’s story for decades or are discovering it for the first time, this is a rare opportunity to witness a historic moment in his hometown.
The unveiling is free to attend and open to all ages. Expect an uplifting atmosphere filled with community spirit, inspiring words, and a visual tribute that will stand as a permanent reminder of Terry’s incredible journey.
