Re: Terry Fox Day

LWA AUiON ARETE nn et aes

Once again the Port Coquitlam Kinsmen Club is sponsoring the Terry Fox Marathon of
Hope. The Run will be held on Sunday, September 18th, and will follow a similar
format as in the past, with the ceremonies and the start-finish taking place at
the Hyde Creek Centre Grounds. The city has endorsed this event in the past and

we seek your co-operation again.

This year the Kinsmen wish to dedicate and erect 3 permanent marker in
commemoration of this outstanding Port Coquitlam youth. I trust you will agree,
Terry Fox has inspired our nation and focussed attention on Port Coquitlam with

his efforts to conquer cancer,

The stone marker (sketch enclosed) is on grey granite composition, dimensions
20" x 12" x 6" = 4". The marker would be fastened to a concrete base in the
ground and is basically maintenance free, The top and front section will have
a polished finish with. the sides and back section a rustic finish.

tal
The inscription shall read, "The Terry Fox Run, Offic¢ Start-Finish Line
Dedicated to all who strive to conquer cancer, donated by the PoCo Kinsmen."

The location desired is situated on the north side of Laurier Avenue, centered
between the street entrances to Hyde Creek Centre. The marker would rest
approximately three feet north of the sidewalk indicating the "Start-Finish Line".

We realize the marker would become the property of the city as it will be
located on city property,
