What’s happening in Rainbow Schools?

Annual tradition: Rainbow Schools take part in Terry Fox Run

Throughout September, students in Rainbow Schools are putting their feet to the pavement in support of The Terry Fox Foundation.

For over 30 years, The Terry Fox Foundation has worked to achieve Terry’s vision – a world without cancer.

Terry Fox Runs are held in communities across the nation each year to raise funds for cancer research.

A number of Rainbow Schools will host Terry Fox Runs for the entire school community, including:
