Visions

Eyes wide with wonder decorated the face of a young girl standing in front of a large dome. "Expo 67, the most exciting time of my life. A time where flags and faces of countries far and wide flocked to Canada."

"That there, that was progress. We all thought that one day they'd be the vehicles of choice. The visions of a bright, beautiful future led by technology like the monorail were what motivated us."
