Description
Thomas Fox (1909-1995) was a WWII pilot, a champion horseman, race-car driver and airline operator. Born in British Columbia, Fox moved to Edmonton in 1941. He was involved in numerous organizations and projects, including the Edmonton Community Chest and the YMCA. Fox was inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame in 1983. Thomas and his wife, Clara, donated land in the Whitemud area to the City. The Names Advisory Committee (NAC) originally approved Foxdale Drive as the name of this road. City Council did not, however, approve this recommendation, and the name was revised by the NAC.
