Expodition: The Queen visits Expo 67
In Canada's centennial year, the city of Montreal played host to the world with Expo 67. "Man and His World" was the theme of the 1967 world's fair, a six-month celebration that drew 50 million ~ visitors to a site on three artificial islands in the St. Lawrence River. Broadcast from Expo's International Broadcasting Centre, Expodition was CBC Radio's daily guide to the pavilions, the people, the pleasures and the problems of Expo 67.
• That day, after visiting the British pavilion and lunching at the Canadian pavilion, the royal couple toured the Expo site on the minirail that wound its way through the fair.
