Terry Fox should have more than a statue in the winners parking lot in Thunder Bay. Kid was a hero, agreed.
I love history and I'm going to throw in Punch Dickinson. Canadas first real bush pilot. Dude flew 1,000,000 miles across uncharted territory across the arctic. All while figuring out how to navigate while his compass would go screwy being that close to the pole. Oh and he did it himself, alone in planes that wouldn't pass any safety regulations today. I've no idea how his balls fit in that cockpit. Helped open up the north for industry and bringing modern medicine to the out posts and settlements.
