The Terry Fox Run will take place this weekend around the world.

This annual fundraiser carries on Terry’s dream of raising funds for cancer research in Canada.

When Terry was 18-years-old, he lost his leg to cancer. After going through 18 months of treatment, he couldn’t ignore the suffering he saw in cancer wards. Terry decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research in the Marathon of Hope. On September 1st, 1980, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay. Cancer had spread to his lungs. Terry died in June 1981.

Locally Terry Fox Run’s will be held Sunday:

• Dresden: Starts at Dresden Raceway at 10 a.m.
• Wallaceburg: Starts at Civic Square Park at 10 a.m.
• Tilbury: Starts at Tilbury Arena at noon.
• Blenheim: Starts at Memorial Park at 10 a.m.

The world’s largest iceberg is breaking up into large chunks.

The A23a iceberg originally weighed nearly a trillion metric tonnes and spanned an area of 3,672 square kilometers. It has been tracked by scientists ever since it broke away in Antarctica in 1986. A23a has held the largest current iceberg title several times since the 1980’s.

It has now shrunk to about 1,700 square kilometres. Now world’s largest iceberg is now held by D15a, which measures around 3,000 square kilometres. (Cool eh, like literally!)

Thamesville’s Corn Maize is open for the season, closing on November 1st.

But if you’re looking for the largest maze in Canada – it’s not too far away in Dundas, just outside of Hamilton.

The Hanes Farm and Corn Maze has almost 20 acres of land and 12 foot cornstalks to get lost in. It will take you anywhere from one to two hours to complete.

The Hanes Farm and Corn Maze is located at 1001 Highway #5 West in Dundas, Ontario.
