Rediscovering Expo 67's Vision for Canada in 2017

One of the seminal works on Expo 67, This was Expo, said that Expo 67 “took us into the future that can be ours.” It presented a future of peace with its hosting of pro-American, pro-Soviet, and unaligned pavilions alongside each other, without friction or disagreement; a future of intercultural understanding by hosting cultures from every single habitable continent, all open to learning about others’ cultures and teaching others about their own; a future of a life among the stars with its optimistic, space race fueled, outlook; a future that could have been ours, but isn’t, because we lost sight of it. If that future is to ever be ours, the spirit and optimism of Expo 67 must be revived.
