Terry Fox Legal Beagle Invitational
The annual Terry Fox Legal Beagle Invitational Basketball Tournament is recognized as one of the most competitive basketball tournaments in B.C.

The tournament was held January 8-10 in Port Coquitlam.

Approximately 21 law firms financially support the tournament and many take an active part in some aspect of its organization and presentation. Tri-City bar members who have supported the tournament generously over the years have found it to be a rewarding way to support a community activity.

While the tournament highlights excellent competitive and basketball skills, it honours the spirit and toughness of mind of its namesake, Terry Fox. Each year two Terry Fox Awards are presented to the tournament players who most exemplify Terry’s qualities. The awards include a monetary scholarship for post secondary education. The 2004 Terry Fox Award winners are Jaren Bergen of the Walnut Grove Gators and Brad Pearson of the Terry Fox Ravens.

The Argyle Pipers basketball team placed first in the tournament.
