Terry Fox International Airport? Vancouver mayoral candidate proposes YVR renaming 03.06.2026

Daily Hive

Vancouver Liberals mayoral candidate Kareem Allam announced on Tuesday his proposal to rename Vancouver International Airport (YVR) as "Terry Fox International Airport" if elected in the October 2026 civic election. Allam believes Terry Fox, a Canadian cancer research advocate and athlete known for his Marathon of Hope, embodies the values of British Columbia and Canada. While acknowledging the mayor lacks direct authority over renaming the airport, Allam plans to leverage influence by appointing a representative to the Vancouver Airport Authority board and advocating to provincial and federal governments. The airport authority has received similar renaming suggestions before and noted its partnership with the Musqueam nation, while Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West expressed openness to the idea, emphasizing consultation with Fox's family.
