  We believe in what Terry Fox started, and we’ll continue to support his cause! There was an amazing turnout at the Terry Fox Run in Oakville, ON. President Dave Turple, executive board members, Local 793 staff members, and supporters participated and raised over $5,100 for cancer research. Filled with passion and inspiration, participants walked, ran, biked, rollerbladed, or used a wheelchair to navigate the route. Thank you to everyone who took part in making a difference!
