One hundred years after Confederation in 1867, Canada held a year-long party. It was a year when we learned about our past, celebrated the present and looked to the future. Almost every town and city had a project for the Centennial year 1967, and many events spanned the nation: a Centennial train that took history on tour, a canoe race that paid homage to the voyageurs, and many, many hours of CBC programming.
Expo 67 was the most spectacular of Canada's 100th anniversary celebrations. When the Montreal Universal and International Exposition of 1967 opened on April 27, it was a gleaming futuristic spectacle and a dazzling international success. On two giant islands in the St. Lawrence River more than 50 million visitors were presented with a vision of the future. Photo: Library and Archives Canada
