Vancouver, BC, October 14, 2025 – The Terry Fox Foundation is pleased to welcome three new members to its Board of Directors to support its ambitious plans for growth, and amplify efforts to raise funds in pursuit of Terry’s mission to create a future where no one fears cancer.

Craig Jarvis has built a fulfilling 40-year career as a Wealth Advisor with ScotiaMcLeod and has always believed that trust and meaningful connections are the foundation of success—both in business and in life. Inspired by his wife Judy, a former professional fundraiser, Craig developed a deep passion for volunteering and the profound impact it can have on communities. In the 20 years since, he has poured his time and energy into advancing Terry Fox’s dream of a world without cancer. His contributions include helping bring to life initiatives such as Marathon of Hope: The Musical, the Terry Fox Legacy Art Project mural, and the National Terry Fox Ride of Hope among others, and is honoured to now serve on the Board of Directors.

His views on the workforce of the future, innovation, and corporate culture are referenced in several books. Emad has served on many nonprofit boards over his career and currently sits on the boards for Kids Eat Smart and the Harris Centre in addition to the Terry Fox Foundation.
