Vancouver's Expo '86 (Historic Canada)

Vancouver's Expo '86 (Historic Canada)

To mark the 100th anniversary of the cityï¿½s founding and the arrival of the first trans-Canada train, Vancouverï¿½s political and business leaders invited the whole world to participate in the festivities.
The result was Expo ï¿½86, and more than 22 million people came for the party. It took eight years of planning and hard work to transform a former railroad yard into a colourful showplace full of pavilions and shows for the six-month event, but those lucky enough to have been there would agree that it was worth it. Expo ï¿½86, truly a worldï¿½s fair,
included pavilions from 9 provinces and territories, 54 nations and international groups, and 3 American states. Many of Canadaï¿½s largest industries joined in, as well, to celebrate the fairï¿½s theme, ï¿½A World
in Movement, A World in Touch.ï¿½ Vintage photographs recapture the fun and excitement of the largest event held to that time in British Columbia.
