Vision of the Future: Expo 67

As much a success for Canada’s global reputation it was, Expo 67 of Montréal was also a Canadian outlook into the future, the near and the far future from 50 years ago. 50 years later, their blueprint of the vision of the far future, to 2017, transformed into the vision of present, of our generation. Expo 67 was both technologically and culturally relevant to our society today, as the visions of telecommunications, cinematography and social rights movements are present then and now.
