VANCOUVER — Terry Fox, the inspirational runner who captivated a country with his Marathon of Hope across Canada, would have celebrated his 50th birthday on Monday.

 

Prince George is marking Fox's 50th birthday by unveiling a new statue of the man who has become a Canadian icon.

 

The memorial has been under way since last year when vandals damaged the original statue, causing an estimated $20,000 damage.

 

Mr. Fox died in 1981, just one month shy of his 23rd birthday on July 28.
