Looking forward to this and the workshop too

Opening day of Expo 67, April 28, 1967 Montréal Canada From the pictures that we have it was awfully cold that summer. But at seven years it was special for a lot of reasons. And now that I look back, well, the brochures and pamphlets take on a different meaning. Toronto Star April 28, 1967 ... The connoncade of fireworks which marked the opening of Expo may in retrospect turn out to have been one of those rare moments that changed the direction of a nation’s history This is the greatest thing we have ever done as a nation and surely the modernization of Canada of its skylines, of its styles, its institution will be dated from this occasion and from this fair. The more you see of it, the more you’re overwhelmed by a feeling that if this is possible, that is this little sub-arctic, self-obsessed country of 20,000,000 people can put on this kind of show, then it can do almost anything.

"Nowhere cruises"and " No Expo exhibit can take the place of driving the length and breadth of Canada and seeing its breath- taking sights for yourself, but we hope you enjoy this small sample." From Expo's 67 information guide to Notre Dame Park by The British American Oil Company Limited... I like the idea of "Nowhere cruises" and " driving the length and breadth of Canada and seeing its breath- taking sights for yourself, but we hope you enjoy this small sample." Especially during this pandemic.
