Arch honoring famed Canadian amputee Terry Fox to be taken down

From News 1130:

VANCOUVER, B.C. -- The Terry Fox Memorial Arch at B.C. Place will be a casualty of the renovations.

However the company that runs the stadium says the Marathon of Hope runner will still be recognized, and the plaza will still be named in his honour.

Fred Fox says his brother didn't run for monuments and statues, and any memorial at B.C. Place is an honour. "We're proud to know that Terry, still 30 years later after the Marathon of Hope, that people still think of him that way."

The Arch was erected in 1984. The amputee's cross-Canada run stopped in September of 1980, after the cancer that took his leg returned. He died the next year at 22-years-old.
