Features
Initially a minor road, Terry Fox Drive became a more important and busier road due to growing communities in Kanata and neighbouring Stittsville. The Kanata Centrum shopping complex, a Holiday Inn, a number of large-scale retail uses and Scotiabank Place (which began as the Palladium in 1996 and was later known as the Corel Centre) are now located along the road. OC Transpo's Terry Fox Station and Park and ride, opened in 2004, are also located near the Centrum.
Terry Fox Drive is also the location of the City Hall of the former city of Kanata.
Kanata's second Wal-Mart (a Wal-Mart Supercentre) opened in August 2012 and is located at the intersection of Terry Fox Drive and Fernbank Road (there is also a regular Wal-Mart in Kanata Centrum).

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
