  Horseshoe Falls to be lit up red and blue in honour of Terry Fox
  The Canadian Horseshoe Falls will be lit up in blue and red Monday night in honour of the legacy of Terry Fox.
  The lighting, which is scheduled to take place at 10 p.m. and last about 15 minutes, coincides with the Terry Fox Foundation hosting a national benefit broadcast called Terry Fox: The Power of One.
  The intention of the benefit is to raise funds for innovative cancer research, including a new project called the Marathon of Hope Centres Network — a collaboration of Canada's best cancer researchers.
  The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network is dedicated to accelerating cancer research in Canada, allowing some of Canada's best cancer researchers and clinicians to share their data and technologies, delivering the best outcomes for each cancer patient in Canada — no matter where they are.
  The lighting initiative will travel across the country, just as Fox intended to, with the following landmarks also being lit up Monday: CN Tower: BC Place; Sails of Light; Vancouver Convention Centre; Calgary Tower; Lafarge Lake; Halifax's City Hall; Charlottetown's City Hall; Regina's City Hall; City Hall and Terry Fox Mile Zero Memorial in St John's, Newfoundland & Labrador.
  To aid in this effort, Canadian celebrities are coming together to be a part of a one-hour special in partnership with CBC.
  Notable names such as Catherine O'Hara, Sidney Crosby, Rick Mercer, Steve Nash, Lloyd Robertson, and Hayley Wickenheiser have joined in, as well as musical performances from Alessia Cara and Tom Cochrane, to name a couple.
  A national broadcast like this, supporting the Terry Fox Foundation, has not happened in more than 40 years when Fox's Marathon of Hope came to an end in September 1980.
  Terry Fox: The Power of One, which will broadcast nationwide Monday at 8 p.m. on CBC TV, CBC Gem and stream globally on CBC.ca/TerryFox, will share diverse stories of hope, courage, and resilience as told by iconic Canadians inspired by the vision and enduring legacy of Fox's Marathon of Hope.
  "This is a fantastic opportunity to share Terry's story in an exciting way that will encourage Canadians across the country to once again come together and cheer for Terry, honour his legacy, and support his dream to cure cancer," said Michael Mazza, executive director of the Terry Fox Foundation.
  "With one in two Canadians expected to battle cancer in their lifetime, the need for research has never been more urgent."
