The event will start and finish at south-west comer of the parking lot at the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre, Third Line south of Upper Middle Road.

Last year, more than $114,000 was raised from Oakville's Terry Fox Fun and events held at 11 schools. A total of 5,004 people participated in all events. Several schools are expected to par­ ticipate again this year. Each year, the winning school receives the Marie Aggett Bowl. Last year's winner, for raising the highest per capital amount, was New Central School.

Last week, the Y has announced plans to expand its present Rebecca Street site rather than move north of the QEW, thanks to a deal just brokered with the Town. The keynote speaker for Thursday's event is Toronto Argonaut running back Michael "Pinball" Clemons. Also on hand will be singer Kelita Haviland who will share the stage with the McDonald's, Petro Canada, Subway Sandwiches, TD Bank, and the YMCA - among other locations. Last year the Terry Fox Runs set a record with $15,402,000 raised -- an increase of 8% over the previous year. There was a total of over 5,000 run sites in Canada and 52 countries around the Oakville Children's Choir and YMCA preschoolers to perform the Y theme song, "There's a Heart." Local dignitaries will be represented as well, including honourary co-chairs Ford of Canada president and CEO Bobbie Gaunt and mayor Ann Mulvale, plus YMCA chair Peter Gilgin, presi­ dent of Mattamy Homes. Oakville YMCA CEO Bruce Ireland, together with other Y Board members, will unveil the new building design and talk about the project. It's hoped the new facility will be up and running by the fall of 2001. world where over one-million partici­ pants took part. International sites included Auckland, Damascus, Hong Kong, Havana, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and Singapore. The number of 'special' events increased to include nursing homes, daycare centres, and correctional facili­ ties. Those who could not run did their best by wheeling, rocking and strolling. The Terry Fox Run also had a remarkable response from Canadian schools, with 3,200 schools in the country organizing their own events, involving 800,000 students, raising over $3.48 million. The Corporate Challenges continue to grow in number in large and small cities across the country. Employees from over 800 companies participated and raised a $1.34 million. The tradi­ tional definition of "corporate" has changed as churches, restaurants, fit­ ness centres, and universities fielded teams. Some of the companies also matched the funds collected by the employees, a double bonus for cancer research. Over $ 14.3-million was allocated to Terry Fox research programs in the 1998-1999 year.
