Description

To mark the 100th anniversary of the city’s founding and the arrival of the primary trans-Canada train, Vancouver’s political and business leaders invited the entire world to take part within the festivities.

The result was once Expo ’86, and more than 22 million people came for the party. It took eight years of planning and hard work to develop into a former railroad yard into a colourful showplace full of pavilions and shows for the six-month event, but the ones lucky enough to have been there would agree that it was once worth it. Expo ’86, actually a world’s fair,

included pavilions from 9 provinces and territories, 54 nations and international groups, and 3 American states. Many of Canada’s largest industries joined in, as well, to celebrate the fair’s theme, “A World

in Movement, A World in Touch.” Vintage photographs recapture the thrill and excitement of the biggest event held to that time in British Columbia.
