We were taught about him in Canadian elementary school (it feels like every school year). I guess I assumed he was known just in Canada for this reason, but didn't realize he even had reach outside of Canada.

Pretty much every city in Canada has a "Terry Fox" public school as well.
I grew up in his home town of Port Coquitlam.. I didn't go to his high school (The Terry Fox Senior Secondary), but my library was the Terry Fox library.

Annually there are "Terry Fox runs" this time of year. I haven't heard anything about dates etc this year. I suspect the funky start of the school year and COVID19 will overshadow it. I sure hope this doesn't kill it into the future.
