The Expo of the Century

In 1967, the International and Universal Exposition was held in Montreal, Canada. This was where people from around the world gathered upon the St. Lawrence islands to witness the great wonders of numerous pavilions. Expo 67 was a monumental success for Canada as people’s visions of the future were shifted by this event. Expo 67 changed Canada and most, if not all Canadians viewed a future of their country as one of the most technologically and architecturally advanced countries in the world. Many years have passed since then, but their sights are still fixed, looking only towards what their country can become—better.
