Council approved a request from the organizers of the Shelburne Terry Fox Run to waive the user fee for Natasha Paterson Memorial Park, where the annual cancer research fundraiser will be held on September 20. The amount of the waived fee is $90.50 plus HST. The brief discussion came during the regular council business portion of the meeting. The request was a straightforward support measure for a long-standing community event. A motion to waive the fee was moved by Councillor Benotto and seconded by Councillor Guchardi, and was carried unanimously.  The decision effectively provides in kind support from the municipality by eliminating the park booking fee for organizers, while allowing the event to direct more of its resources toward cancer research fundraising in the spirit of Terry Fox's legacy. The Shelburne Terry Fox Run is one of many local runs held across Canada each year, continuing the tradition of community-based, volunteer-led events in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. The annual fundraiser will take place on Sept. 20 this year, with registration opening at 9 a.m. and the run commencing at 10 a.m.  --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2026-07-16 15:54:26 Post date GMT: 2026-07-16 19:54:26 Post modified date: 2026-07-16 15:54:27 Post modified date GMT: 2026-07-16 19:54:27 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
