T
he home at 3337 morrill st. in Port
Coquitlam, B.C., is in a typical
suburban setting, surrounded by
green trees, well worn pavement and the
sounds of busy yard work. the home is
certainly pleasant and well maintained, but
doesn't really stick out for any particular
reason. You likely wouldn't know the
historical significance of this insignificant-
looking structure.
"i have very strong memories of that
house and being inside," Darrell Fox tells
Our House Magazine.
Fox is the younger brother of Canadian
hero terry Fox. the family lived in the Port
Coquitlam home on morrill street for 16
years. Darrell, who was only a teenager
when his older brother embarked on
running the marathon of Hope across
Canada in 1980, keeps a huge selection of
memories for the house.
How the humble house
Terry Fox grew up in is
becoming a Canadian
