WaterfrontToronto says "Mayor Olivia Chow and Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik (Spadina-Fort York) joined Darrell Fox, brother of Terry Fox, to reveal the new public art project “We Are Shaped by the Obstacles We Face”, which commemorates the legacy of Canadian humanitarian and activist Terry Fox. Also on hand for the unveiling beside the Toronto Music Garden, 439 Queens Quay W., were representatives from the Legacy Art Project Toronto, Waterfront Toronto and the Waterfront Business Improvement Area (BIA)."
The installation was designed by Jon Sasaki and landscape architecture consultants DTAH and the stones were placed along a curved path in the park, sculpted at the top, and meant to tell people that obstacles are opportunities and to keep pushing forward.
Mayor Olivia Chow said that “We are honoured to be able to share in the legacy of Terry Fox with the revealing of this outstanding public artwork. This work embodies the dedication and creativity of multiple private and public partners who have all contributed immensely to bringing the spirit of a Canadian hero to Toronto’s waterfront – so that residents and visitors can be inspired again by hope within themselves and for each other.”
Terry Fox, a Canadian hero, started a run across Canada in 1980 called the Marathon of Hope, seeking to raise funds for fighting cancer and also to raise awareness of cancer. He could not finish his miracle run but Canadians try to run for him every year in the annual Terry Fox Run.
