The race is on for Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins now that former Victoria Police Department deputy chief John Ducker is also running for the mayoralty.

Ducker announced Monday he has officially joined the campaign.

“Enough people asked me [to run] that it was getting tough to ignore,” said Ducker.

Ducker said his main platform is increasing the economic development and livability of Esquimalt.

“First and foremost, John Ducker we’ve got to get Esquimalt moving again,” he said. “We are one of the few areas in the region that is actually losing population.”

According to Ducker, Esquimalt is not as family-friendly as it used to be, due to a lack of amenities.

“People are passing Esquimalt by to settle in other areas, and I don’t think that’s right,” said Ducker. “We have to recommit to our civic infrastructure and making the town look a lot better.”

Ducker said he realizes that Esquimalt residents are particularly concerned with the issue of sewage treatment.

“That battle is far from over,” he said. “My plan is to renew commitment to the region to work with partners to get it done.”

Cutting-edge treatment targets cancer B.C. Cancer Foundation seeks $4 million to fund clinical trial Laura Lavin News staff

Victoria News owner David Black, hosted the announcement of a funding campaign to support clinical trials of a new cancer treatment at his Oak Bay home last week.

“This is a cutting-edge form of treatment,” said Dr. Brad Nelson, director of the Trev and Joyce Deeley Research Centre.

In 10 years of research at the centre, Nelson and his team are prepared to begin clinical trials of a form of immunotherapy called adoptive T cell therapy, or ACT. The therapy involves taking a patient’s cancerous tumour, after it’s been removed, and harvesting T cells in the lab. “(We can) pull out the immune cells, in particular the T cells that are in the tumour, and are trying to fight that tumour – having a ground battle if you will – and we can take those T cells and grow them in the lab … get them all ramped up and revived and in very large numbers and give them back to the patient in an IV bag as an infusion.”

Those T cells then enter the blood stream and circulate throughout the patient’s body, wherever cancer cells may be trying to hide, whether it be in the bone marrow, liver, or other organs. Those T cells will be able to find the cancer recognize it and destroy it, he said.

“It’s an entirely new approach to cancer treatment. It’s using the body’s own defences to fight (cancer) but with some help from science – and it’s working,” he said.

The goal of immunotherapy is to enhance the immune response to cancer using drugs, vaccines or T cell infusions. Successfull immunotherapy rids the body of residual cancer cells. The T cells also remain in the body, protecting the patient from a reoccurrence.

The funding campaign will allow for the construction of a Good Manufacturing Process Clean Room, a secure, closed suite with special air filtration equipment that keeps the entire space sterile. Researchers wear gowns, hoods and booties while inside to protect the integrity of their work.

The B.C. Cancer Agency believes a $4 million charitable investment will lead to some $4 to $6-million in grant funding.

“Philanthropy will be the driver for this exciting research,” said Alyssa Grace, senior director, development for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. “At this stage, the Ministry of Health does not fund early stage clinical trials and there is no apparent commercial value to the work that’s being done.

“It’s a procedure. It’s a process that involves a patient’s own T cells. So, philanthropy will drive the science through this first phase of clinical trials.”

Do I still have to do the homework if I don’t have a home?

David Black, left, and Dr. Brad Nelson, director of the Deeley Research Centre at the B.C. Cancer AgencyVancouver Island, chat at Black’s home before a special update on immunotherapy cancer research taking place at the B.C. Cancer Agency. Black hosted the event at his Oak Bay home.

Those clinical trials, which will include 10 to 15 patients per year, are expected to begin as early as 2017.

“We’re at $1.2 of a $4-million goal to get to the end of the first phase of clinical trials and that will build the infrastructure, the staffing and the protocols around the clinical trial,” said Grace.

B.C. is a leader in cancer research discoveries, said Nelson. “We can be an international leader with this investment,” he added.

He and his team are encouraged by results in immunotherapy coming from the United States.

“We’re hearing reports of T cell therapy being highly successful in melanoma in centres in the U.S. and more recently in leukemia as well.”

In a recent clinical trial in Philadelphia involving children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, engineered T cells generated “complete, durable remission” in 14 of

22 patients, he said.

“This is the most exciting period of my career, no question,” said Nelson. “It’s exciting as a scientist to get to test your ideas.”

Nelson and his team want to build a program in BC to offer the T cell treatments to those with ovarian cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer.

The first clinical trial will focus on patients with ovarian cancer.

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins said the twinning offers the potential for the rib festival to draw a much bigger audience and put the township in a positive light.

“It’s only going to benefit both these festivals,” Desjardins said.

Port Angeles deputy mayor Patrick Downie said the twinning project is about building a relationship between the two communities.

“It’s highly important to market and promote this region together,” he said.

Esquimalt Ribfest meet Port Angeles Crabfest.

The two municipalities have come to a new twinning agreement to support each other’s festival starting with last weekend’s rib festival.

Crabfest, also known as the Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival, is ranked as one of the best seafood festivals in the United States.

It’s held every October.

Esquimalt put down the welcome mat for Crabfest Thursday when it flew a Port Angeles flag at Esquimalt Recreation Centre over the weekend. Port Angeles will return the favour during Crabfest, Oct. 10-12. “(Port Angeles) approached us about this arrangement,” said Tom Woods, chair of Esquimalt Ribfest.

“They’ve benefited for so long from Canadians going there for Crabfest they wanted to return the favour. It’s about cross promotion.”

Woods expected more than 150 “official guests” from Port Angeles to visit Esquimalt last weekend for Ribfest.

For new immigrants to Canada, finding food and ingredients from home can be difficult. This Saturday (Sept. 20), they will be given the opportunity to learn about food security and healthy eating in Canada at the third annual Multicultural Food and Health Fair.

“It’s about adapting to the new practices or norms around food in their new country,” said Jennifer Almeida, event coordinator of the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society, who is putting on the event.

Almeida, originally from Malaysia, said immigrants often divert from their original diets. “The main purpose is to promote healthy eating

and food security to new immigrants, and for the local people to have a flavour of ethnic food,” said Almeida.

In addition, there will be dance performances from different nationalities, door prizes and a children’s area.

In the fair’s first year, there were 400 to 600 people; last year this number doubled, and Almeida said they are expecting even more people this year.

The event will be held at CDI College in Victoria, where there will be multicultural vendors set up with food samples and food to buy and eat.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and admission is free for everyone. CDI College is located at 950 Kings Rd. in Victoria. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

Provincial riding to be tweaked B.C.’s electoral boundaries are being tweaked once again, and the team overseeing the project is seeking public feedback.

The non-partisan B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission is established every second election to adjust MLA electoral districts based

on population growth and movement.

Beginning on Sept. 22, the three-member commission will hold meetings in 29 B.C. communities to garner public input.

The commission sweeps through Greater Victoria Nov. 3 to 7, but feedback can be submit-

ted anytime online at bc-ebc.ca, or by mail to: P.O. Box 9275 Stn Prov Govt, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9J6.

Dr. Neil Paterson How to use EYE DROPS Dr. Suzanne Sutter correctly Optometrists

100 -2067 Occasionally one uses prescription or non prescription eye drops to treat certain eye Cadboro conditions, Bay infections Rd. or diseases. It is always a battle to try and aim the drop so that it has a perfect “landing”250-595-8500 without most of the contents running down your face.

Before you use any eye drops, be sure to tell your Optometrist about any otherDr. prescription nonprescription RachelorRushforth* medications that you arewww.admiralsvision.ca taking or any allergies that you have. *Denotes Optometric Corporation

Here are some general tips about correctly putting eye drops in your eyes.

106-1505 Admirals Rd. (near Thrifty Foods) 1. Look at the ceiling by standing or sitting and tilting your head backwards. Some people like to lie down on a flat surface.

2. The best way to ensure the drop remains in your eye is to gently pull the skin of your lower eyelid between your thumb and index finger to create a “pocket” for the drop. www.saanichoptometry.ca If you are unable to master this, gently pull your lower lid down with your finger.

119-3995 Quadra @ McKenzie (in Saanich Centre) Keep the bottle’s nozzle or the eyedropper clean by not touching it to any part of your eyes. *Denotes Optometric Corporation 4. If you are unable to get the drop into you eye because of blinking, try this: close your eye and pull the lower lid down. Aim the drop into the inside corner of your eye. Open your eye and let the drop run into your lower lid. (Be sure to try the open-eye method at your next scheduled dose as it is a more reliable way to ensure the drop remains in your eye).

5. To help keep the medication in your eye and prevent it from escaping through the tear duct, your optometrist may instruct you to “occlude” this duct by gently pressing on the inside corner of your closed eye with your index finger for about three minutes. If drops have been placed in both eyes, you can perform occlusion by placDr. Paul Neumann ing your thumb and index finger (or the index fingers of both hands) on either side of yourOptometrist nose and gently pressing down on the inside corners of both closed eyes. This www.cseyecare.com OPTOMETRY CLINIC step is very important with some medications, so do not skip#1 it if your doctor specifies it.

Desjardins will campaign on her experience Continued from Page A1

To begin with, Ducker said he wants to look into the scientific viability of the project.

“If it’s warranted scientifically, there won’t be a bigger champion for sewage treatment than me.”

Having lived in Esquimalt for more than 40 years, Ducker said he knows the community very well.

However, Desjardins said her nine

years of experience on council, six of them as mayor, are worth much more.

“Esquimalt has changed significantly over those last six years, and we’re continuing to move forward,” said Desjardins, adding her experience will help the town get there faster.

In the last election, Desjardins was acclaimed. When she was first elected as mayor, she ran against and beat incumbent mayor Chris Clement.

“The community will pick the best person for the job . . . but I feel that I’ve represented the community well over the last six years, and would like to continue,” said Desjardins.

Be sure to follow all of the instructions that your doctor of optometry gives you and to complete the course of medication or treatment he or she recommends. If you experience any side-effects, (such as burning, inflammation, puffiness, itching, etc.) notify your eye care practitioner immediately. Many eye drops should be thrown away six weeks after being opened. Ask your pharmacist at the time of purchase.

OUR VIEW

Terry’s legacy lives on in city Last Sunday was the 34th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. If you don’t know the story, you’re likely not Canadian. But it is an incredible legacy.

It is highly unlikely that when Terry first dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, to start his Marathon of Hope, he had any idea of the lasting effect he would have.

An entire country followed his lead, after his run was cut short, just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., five months later. Spurred by Isadore Sharp, of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, an annual fundraising run was organized in his name.

“You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized,” said Sharp in a telegram to the Fox family.

So it began.

And its had a lasting legacy in Victoria where close to 1,000 took part in the annual run – many who took part were not even alive when Terry succumbed to cancer – and raised more than $21,000.

The Terry Fox Foundation has grown to in excess of $650 million, to support cancer research in Terry’s name.

To most, the thought of that much money not already producing a cure is unfathomable.

The problem is the disease itself. It is the most baffling disease known, because of its inconsistencies. It can run in the family, but it’s not genetic.

It can be caused by smoking, but smoking does not invariably lead to lung cancer.

It can be deadly, but it can also be benign.

Before a definitive cure for cancer can be achieved, a link between all cancers must be discovered. We are not there yet.

Terry’s initial letter to the Canadian Cancer Society, asking for support of his Marathon of Hope, included the line “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles.”

Off to school and to court Whatever cease-fire emerges from the latest round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union Tom Fletcher contract terms B.C. Views that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue

that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says.

“On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.

For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were

agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Dogs need training before going on buses Re: Barking back at Transit (News, Sept. 12) As a dog owner, I would love to be able to travel the buses and I certainly agree with Daphne Taylor that it is a greener alternative than driving one’s dog to the off leash areas.

But who is going to set and more importantly enforce the standard of behaviour on those buses?

Already the city does not enforce its dog bylaws. I regularly see dogs running off leash in Beacon Hill park, jumping on elderly people along Dallas Road and chasing vulnerable and exhausted migratory shorebirds everywhere.

I am constantly tripped, slobbered on and approached aggressively while owners yell from a distance that their dog is

friendly.

In congested sidewalks like the Cook Street Village, extendable leashes are a curse. When I ask owners to reel in their dogs so I won’t tread on them, I am invariably dismissed.

When I ask others not to encourage bad manners in my own dog (she is extremely pretty and friendly), I am beligerantly ignored. When another dog passes me on the street it is allowed to detour over to my dog and mix it up.

No one knows what heal means.

So how are we going to manage this dogs on the bus idea? Without basic dog obedience or basic owner manners in place it will be an annoying or even dangerous free for all.

Standards will have to be

clearly set out, taught and enforced.

I suggest a visible tag on the dog signifying it and its owner has taken a bus manners course and that the city work with existing dog obedience teachers to deliver this course. Without it, no dog should get on the bus.

Teachers’ strike hurting families First I would like to say that I support the reason (at least most of them) for the teachers’ strike. When you have a body that has unlimited resources as with the government, it is difficult for an ordinary person to fight for their right and win without taking

drastic steps.

Many a revolution has happened for that very reason.

However, it has caused hardships for many families.

I hope the government and the teachers union is aware that many private industry employers are not willing to disrupt their business to accommodate parents who are scrambling everyday to find somewhere safe and available for their children.

I am a grandmother who lives in Toronto and came to Victoria in order to take care of my granddaughter. No one is going to pay for my expenses. My family is one of the lucky ones because I was able and willing and healthy enough to do this. Many are not .

Someone must have the

power and the courage to correct what is wrong with the education system and settle this strike.

Collectivist control hurts human growth Re: The value of heritage (News, Sept. 12) I haven’t heard that Coun.

Pamela Madoff has offered to purchase the decrepid cathedral school building she demands be kept rather than demolished. That would be the moral thing to do.

Heritage enthusiasts often want to satisfy their sentimentality at the

expense of property owners by blocking best use and of taxpayers by subsidies such as Madoff suggests for seismic upgrading of the school.

What people like Madoff want would burden future generations with high maintenance costs, use limitations, deficient buildings and sub-optimal use of land.

I challenge Madoff to learn from history that collectivist control does not feed and foster humans.

“We use this to raise awareness around the access-to-justice issue and the fact that the government is seemingly unwilling to fund legal aid to the extent that it should,” said Jamie Maclaren, executive director of the Access Pro Bono Society of B.C. He said programs centering around legal aid have been significantly reduced since 2002.

Last year, the Legal Services Society, which provides legal aid in B.C., had an operating budget of $80 million, $74.5 million in funding came from the provincial government.

Maclaren said as a result of inadequate funding, the pro bono society has been asked to fill in gaps.

More than 800 lawyers in B.C. provide free services through the pro bono society.

Staying centered Centre Tyler Soy thrust into top-six responsibility

Travis Paterson News staff

Tyler Soy’s name is popping up a lot these days.

Long before the season started, the 17 year old was bandied about on some early season predictions as one to watch in the Western Hockey League this year.

Turns out most everyone in the WHL, coaches included, expect Soy to break out.

Even Tyler Soy. “That kind of thing is in the back of your mind but you need to block out as much as you can,” said Soy, who won gold with Canada at the 2014 Ivan Hlinka U18 World Cup. “It’s nice to be mentioned but I need to focus on my game and most of the pressure comes from myself.”

The eighth overall pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft is entering his second eyar with the Royals after finishing his 16 year old eason at 20th in WHL rookie scoring with 15 goals and 15 assists. That list is deceiving, however, with several 18 year olds and even a 19 year old college defector (Adam Tambellini) ahead of him.

With centres Ben Walker and Steven Hodges graduating to the pro ranks this

year, it’s a safe bet Soy will eventually slide into the second line centre role of Dave Lowry’s lineup.

But to start the season, he’ll get a chance at being No. 1.

Brandon Magee, 20, tops the depth chart at centre, but is absent as an invitee at Calgary Flames camp. When he returns, he’ll serve the remainder of his 12 game suspension earned in the playoffs.

That leaves Soy and Logan Fisher, 18, as the defacto 1-2 centres. Then comes 16-year-old rookie Dante Hannoun, assuming he sticks around. “Soy is good on his faceoffs, a good playmaker and good at playing two ways,” said assistant coach Enio Sacilotto. “He works hard and is playing physical when he has to.”

Sacilotto and others believe Soy will be one of the best players in the league, whether it’s later this season or not for another two. As long as he puts the work in.

BLAZING START TO SEASON The Victoria Royals kick off the 2014-15 Western Hockey League schedule with a road trip against the Vancouver Giants, Friday night (Sept. 19) and the Kamloops Blazers on Saturday night.

“Soy had his 16 year old season and for us (coaches) it was more about guidance,” Sacilotto said. “He has to raise his game to the next level, he’s a gold medallist now.”

For Soy it’s about staying grounded, keeping his high school grades up (whenever that starts), and applying a new

approach to each day.

“The Ivan Hlinka and being on Team Canada opened my eyes,” Soy said. “I want to earn as many minutes as I can, hopefully specialty teams, but whatever role is given to me I’ll try as hard as I can.” sports@vicnews.com

The home schedule opens with a pair of games against the Blazers, Friday, Sept. 26 and Saturday, Sept. 27 at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.

Puck drop is 7:05 p.m. for both games.

Reaching

the next level Royals players at NHL camps Travis Paterson News staff

It will be a fresh start for the Victoria Royals.

The club is preparing for its Sept.

19 Western Hockey League opener in Kamloops without six of its top players, all attending NHL rookie camps.

It’s an added challenge, especially as the Royals hope to contend for the Western conference title. But it’s what you want for your team, insists Royals assistant coach Enio Sacilotto.

“It’s a good reflection of our program. The more guys at pro camp the happier we are.

“Look at Portland, they have 13, that’s a reflection (of their success).”

Half the Royals at NHL camps are with the Calgary Flames as draft

picks Keegan Kanzig (2013) and Austin Carroll (2014) are joined by training camp invite Brandon Magee. Axel Blomqvist looks to stick with the Winnipeg Jets, where he signed an entry level deal last year. Travis Brown is trying to impress with the Ottawa Senators and Joe Hicketts is in Detroit where he already scored an exhibition overtime winner as a Red Wings invite.

Things changed for the Victoria Royals the day Axel Blomqvist showed up.

At 6-foot-6, he stood out. But otherwise, he was an unknown player when he took the ice for a Nov. 22 home tilt against the Kamloops Blazers.

The jury was out. Could he skate?

It was hard to tell. With legs like skyscrapers, he looked off balance, his stride stretching from Blanshard to Quadra. Then, with his extraterrestrial reach, he began making slick plays in a way Royals’ fans had never seen.

He only picked up one assist in that game. But he showed what he could do. And the points piled up.

In a December to remember, Blomqvist collected 14 points in 11 games. The Royals won eight of them.

He finished the season with 43 points in 46 games. This year the 19-year-old is ready to lead the Royals from his spot as the team’s top right winger. He says he’s focused on an improved defensive game, but it’s his unique offensive flair everyone wants to see. This is all assuming he returns from Penticton, where he’s competing as a Winnipeg Jets rookie.

Axel Blomqvist “Blomqvist needs to be in that scoring role,” said assistant coach Enio Sacilotto. “We’ll always have a way we play, strong, fast and physical, and he will have to fall into his role in that respect, too.”

It’s been a big summer for Blomqvist, who wore the yellow and blue Tre Kronor for Team Sweden in two separate tournaments, the Under20 Four Nations tournament, and the U.S. Hockey development tournament.

Both were big stage auditions for Team Sweden at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship in Toronto and Montreal, Dec. 26 to Jan. 5.

“My goal for the first half of the season is to do well here and make (Sweden’s) world junior team. That would be awesome, especially here in Canada,” Blomqvist said. “(Sweden) said work hard and they’ll be watching me. Obviously I have to compete for a spot, so hopefully have a good first half. Right now the goal is to get better defensively, to get a bigger role with the Royals and be a leader on and off the ice.”

This week Blomqvist will be absent from the Royals’ WHL season opener as he represents the Winnipeg Jets at the Canuck-hosted Young Stars rookie tournament in Penticton.

Playing in Penticton was a turning point for Blomqvist last year, when he turned heads and signed a three year entry level deal with the Jets.

“They’re all really good players. Last year was fun, it was a tryout for me.

This year there’s really no pressure, I just have to go out and play my game, I’m not the type of guy who feels pressure.”

His Jets teammates this year will include some established American Hockey League players such as Adam Lowry, son of Royals’ coach Dave Lowry.

“That’s what you want, to play against the best.” sports@vicnews.com

Since relocating here in 2011, the Victoria Royals have been without representation on Team Canada at the IIHF World Junior Championships.

That’s about to change, as Royals coach Dave Lowry was named an assistant coach with Team Canada for this year’s World Junior tournament in Mon. treal and Toronto, from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5.

Lowry, the 2013-14 WHL Coach of the Year, will be on the bench alongside head coach Benoit Groulx of the Gatineau Olympiques (QMJHL) and assistant coach Scott Walker of the Guelph Storm.

It’s Lowry’s first coaching stint with Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence, though he was originally slated to be the head coach of Canada’s National Summer Under-18 Team in 2009. He withdrew from that role, however, as he went on to be an assistant coach with the NHL’s Calgary Flames for two seasons.

Lowry is unlikely to have any Royals on his Team Canada roster this season (fingers crossed for Joe Hicketts) but there is a good chance he could face Axel Blomqvist on Team Sweden. sports@vicnews.com

Terry Fox Run Andrea Peacock News Staff

Good weather and willing volunteers and participants made the 34th annual Terry Fox Run a success on Sunday.

“It went really well,” said Doug Lamb, one of the organizers. “We had a very enthusiastic turnout.”

Close to 1,000 participants ran or walked the course from Mile 0. As of Monday, they raised around $21,000, said Lamb. He said they are still waiting to add in the money from St. Michael’s University, which had 200 students show up for the event. Also at the Terry Fox Run was the Canadian women’s national rugby team.

“They made a substantial donation,” said Lamb.

A special participant at the event was Leslie Scrivener, the author of Terry Fox: His Story.

“It was a nice surprise to me,” said Lamb. “It means a lot to me to have people involved with Terry Fox from the past who come.”

The 21-year-old Fox was battling bone cancer when he began his Marathon of Hope in 1980.

He ran the equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 days, making his way across the Atlantic provinces as well as Ontario and Quebec before he was forced to stop in Thunder Bay, Ont., when cancer spread to his lungs.

Fox died months later at the age of 22 after raising more than $22 million for cancer research.

Today his run is a worldwide movement. Thousands of Terry Fox runs are held in dozens of countries across the globe. And hundreds of million dollars have been raised for cancer research. andrea.peacock@vicnews.com

The Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $650 million for cancer research worldwide since it began in 1981.

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: Gangs are only a “lower-class”, ethnic, or male problem: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.
