Parkview Elementary students carried on the tradition of the school’s annual Terry Fox Run and corn shucking relay event on Friday, Sept. 22. The relay began at the former Malakwa Elementary School 36 years ago for harvest celebrations. The Terry Fox Run and corn shucking relay was inherited by Parkview Elementary six years ago after the schools were amalgamated.
