Coquitlam RCMP investigating alleged mischief to Terry Fox statue in the 2100 block of Wilson Ave, Port Coquitlam.

On June 17, 2026, Coquitlam RCMP received a report of an alleged mischief to the Terry Fox statue in the 2100 block of Wilson Ave, Port Coquitlam. Between midnight June 12 and 7:00 a.m. on June 13, 2026, an unidentified substance appears to have been poured onto the statue, coating part of the head and chest.

“Terry Fox’s courage, determination, and selflessness have inspired generations of Canadians. As a Port Coquitlam resident, his legacy remains deeply connected to our community, and this statue stands as a tribute to his remarkable contributions to cancer research and his enduring impact on people across Canada and around the world. Terry is a national hero, and the damage caused to this statue is both upsetting and disrespectful to the legacy he created,” says Sergeant Adriana O’Malley, Coquitlam RCMP Media Relations Officer. “We are asking anyone who was in the area between June 12 and June 13 and may have witnessed what occurred, or who has information about this investigation to contact us.”

Coquitlam RCMP have conduct of this active and on-going investigation.
