Terry Fox Marathon of Hope stamp set for April launch
Ottawa announces a Port Coquitlam ceremony in April 1982 to unveil the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope stamp. Terry Fox, born 1958 in Winnipeg and raised in Port Coquitlam, ran across Canada raising cancer funds before his death in 1981. The stamp uses Friedrich Peter’s design, with a second design as alternate, and 44 million stamps will be printed by Ashton-Potter Limited.
