All Things Terry

On display through mid-October 2024

For 44 years, Terry Fox has been an inspiration to Canadians and the world alike. In April 2024, the Royal BC Museum entered into a 20-year loan agreement with the Terry Fox Centre and the Fox family to care for, manage and preserve the legacy and personal belongings of Terry Fox.

The van and a series of informational panels are on display in the Royal BC Museum lobby, now through mid-October.

The collection (not currently on display) includes a number of iconic items owned and worn by Terry, including the shoes and prosthetic leg he wore on his daily marathons, the van he and his best friend/driver Doug and younger brother Darrell slept in throughout the journey, and a large collection of letters written to Terry from school children across the country.
