“Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.”
– Terry Fox
In 2018 two ENSS students, Aidan Hussey and Max Towers, along with staff advisor Nancy Wilson, formed the ENSS Hope Project Team. Together they set in motion an ambitious campaign to inspire hope and to create a lasting legacy at ENSS.
Funding for the construction of the ENSS Garden of Hope was made possible by generous donations from the Municipality of Brighton, individuals, community organizations and local businesses.
Each engraved brick is unique; each brick has its’ own unique story. Read the heartfelt stories of the people behind many of the bricks in the Garden of Hope.
Dedicate a brick in the ENSS Garden of Hope to a loved one impacted by cancer, or simply to show support, while making a donation to the Terry Fox Foundation.
“I live over 3 hours from my hometown so for me, having a tribute to my mom in the GARDEN OF HOPE is like having a closer connection to her and an opportunity to stop by the garden and spend some quiet time with her whenever I choose.“
B. Breton
“The Garden of Hope is a beautiful place to bring our community together and to remind us why we must keep Terry’s dream alive.”
N & T Larry
“The Garden of Hope is not only a quiet, peaceful setting to reflect and remember those we have lost to cancer but an inspirational spot for ENSS students and the community of Brighton to continue their commitment to the hope of one day finding a cure for cancer.“
J. Lange
The ENSS Garden of Hope is located in Brighton, Ontario outside the main entrance to East Northumberland Secondary School at 71 Dundas Street East. Visitors to the Garden are welcomed anytime.
