The City of Prince George held a ceremony this morning at the Canfor Leisure Pool, celebrating Jim “Million Dollar Jim” Terrion.
After over three decades, a silent walk across Canada, and going door to door, Terrion surpassed his goal of raising $1 million for the Terry Fox Foundation on Tuesday in PG.
Through a Deaf Interpreter, Terrion said he’s looking to continue raising money for cancer research.
“I’m just feeling so good, and I’m so proud about getting to that $1 million goal, and I’m going to keep on keeping on for the Terry Fox Foundation.”
Terrion highlighted the community support from Prince Rupert and Prince George, from the different businesses, and neighbourhoods he visited.
He received quite a bit of support as the fundraising goal got closer, raising over $33,000 in a little over a month.
During the ceremony, Mayor Simon Yu proclaimed June 9th to 15th of 2025 as the Million Dollar Jim Week.
Other members of City Council, MLA’s Kiel Giddens and Rosalyn Bird, Shirley Bond, and the Fox family were also in attendance.
