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:
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Art is the child of Nature; yes,
Her darling child, in whom we trace
The features of the mother’s face,
Her aspect and her attitude.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
