The Terry Fox Hall of Fame, located on the first floor of Metro Hall, Toronto, is calling on individuals to nominate distinguished Canadians who have made significant contributions to assisting or enhancing the lives of persons with disabilities for consideration as Hall of Fame inductees.  Nominations are requested by May 11, 2007.

Both persons with disabilities and the able-bodied are eligible for consideration for the Terry Fox Hall of Fame in one of three categories: Builder, Achiever or Athlete.  Builders improve the quality of life for people with physical disabilities through work in science or medicine, advocacy, education, employment and housing; Achievers overcome disabilities and create new opportunities in all avenues of life; Athletes are persons with physical disabilities who have excelled in sport.

“The induction into the Terry Fox Hall of Fame recognizes people who have made a difference and opened doors for people with disabilities. People who, like Terry Fox, are an inspiration to us all,” says Vim Kochhar, Chair of the Canadian Foundation for Physically Disabled Persons, sponsor of the Hall of Fame.

Last year's inductees are: Michael Edgson, 13-time Paralympic gold medal winner; Jeneece Edroff, fundraiser extraordinaire; June Hooper, organizer, advocate & volunteer and Steven Fletcher, Member of Parliament. Additional information is available at www.cfpdp.com
