Between 60,000 and 70,000 visitors stop to pay tribute to the iconic Canadian every year.
THUNDER BAY — Each year, between 60,000 to 70,000 people stop at the Terry Fox visitor centre to pay tribute to one of Canada’s most iconic heroes.
Staff also act as ambassadors for the entire region, informing tourists about activities and other sites of interest to visit, even hopping on the phone to try to find accommodations for travellers who arrive in Thunder Bay to find hotel rooms scarce during busy summer months. “That’s very rare in a lot of tourism markets, particularly in Northwestern Ontario. It’s something we’re very proud, that we’re able to help visitors find places to stay, find places to eat, find things to do on a year-round basis here.”
