Heady times...kinder, gentler times and so optimistic...I was 3 when I visited with our family from Northern Ontario and retain vague memories and that sense of wonder, especially of La Ronde.

L'importance de rêver de ne pas être pessimiste de garder espoir pour l'avenir.

The question still remains "where are they gonna play?" PEEL BASSIN - This was supposed to be the proposed site for a possible downtown stadium had the Montreal - Tampa Bay shared project occured. However after that project fell through the land for the proposed stadium is NO LONGER AVAILABLE. The City of Montreal has approved the project that will turn Peel Bassin into a residential, commercial and industrial site. Construction is set to begin within the next few months. Also the train station (REM) that was supposed to be constructed had the baseball stadium seen the light of day has been scrapped. OLYMPIC STADIUM - Well you can forget Olympic Stadium for the two following reasons : 1. MLB Commissionner Rob Manfred has stated on many occasions that if ever MLB was to return to Montreal it would be via a downtown stadium and NOT Olympic Stadium. 2. The Olympic Stadium is OFFICIALLY closed until at least 2028 as the stadium is undergoing renovations where a new roof (not retractable) and technical ring to support the new roof will be installed at a cost of $750 million (CAN). No other major changes are set for those renovations such as seating, sound, lighting, etc. The Olympic Stadium will just stay as it is. So this still leaves the question...WHERE ARE THEY GONNA PLAY? The suburbs (North and South) ? Many baseball fans in Montreal wanted ONLY a downtown stadium...PERIOD! Any stadium at the East of West End of the city is a no go. And besides there is no land available on the city itself. So this leaves the suburbs. There too (suburbs) there is NO land available because the land is PROTECTED by the Quebec Government Agriculture and Wetlands Protection Act of 1978. And the Government has NO plans to change the Law (Act).

I'm up here in Canada. I remember when my mother would buy bologna, it came in a heavy waxed covering. She made us all toasted fried bologna sandwiches. I'm talking in the 50' and 60s. Her Mother, who was French Acadian, fed her children the same thing.

@Mert_Can this could be interesting for you. Long before Dubai there was Expo 67

Worst casino in the world! Never give anyone chance to win’ it’s all for the Quebec Govt. no free drinks, terrible service!!!!

it's not the hike that gets you, it's the steep streets BEFORE the hike ahah

My father worked as a film projector technician he had a coleman cart and went to the pavillions to take care of issues with projectors

Montrealer here, born way after 1967. It's wild, but Expo 1967 lives on. I've been hearing about it my whole life, and its remnants are everywhere, notably the artificial islands created for it and the Montreal Metro completed in time for the expo. Today, the metro is one of the crown jewels of the city. The city has been a huge cultural hub ever since, despite all the fiascos around language laws and corruption and bad planning (looking at you Big O).

Pour ceux qui en voudrais un . J’ai le guide officiel de l’expo67 à vendre !!!!!

Many adult people born in Montréal do not even know that this nor the Olympic Games of 1976 took place in their own city.

Vive le Québec libre! Vive le Montréal libre!

Ha ha - my parents told me I was their "Expo Project"

it was also the El Nino on the West Coast

Born in Montreal, as 3 year old, 1967 was first year of my young life that I had strong recollections of. A lot of great memories and Expo 67 was big part of it.

these peeps on their skate/longboards going through the circuit like latifi

'17 go was a record crowd attendance for a few years, It was also Bill Burr's first gp. What a great weekend. Can't stand the crowds tho! Quarter mil people taking the train back, 😂 😂 never again, thank God i only got off at berry stn

Vidéo incroyable! Voir à quel point l'Expo aura sû impacter la société est bouleversant.

All white...not a Muslim in sight...those were the days!

Great documentary although I wish something was said about how little was done to preserve all that cool,architecture. Nowadays, of the 90 pavilions, only a handful still stand. Mots of it was simply abandoned and left to rot until it was demolished in the 90's.

Cleats

So nice to hear reporting of a natural disaster without all the climate change BS. Now a days if we get a gust of wind it's the end of the world. That was a brutal storm and as a guy living in Ontario I felt bad for my fellow Canadians. At the end of the day, it was just a storm.....

Time to resurrect the Habitat building method - a view and a garden for every apartment dweller.

My first ride on an Hovercraft was still Expo '67.

I was eight years old and in British Columbia I missed expo… But remember so very well the train crossing the country as a mobile history, Museum, as well as the great truck convoy of exhibits… There were voyager canoes of each province crossing the country… The songs, the badges, the spirit of the year will always be with me… It seems like such a different country now!

I wasn’t born back then, but it look so impressive even to these days.

the city and country loves f1

MONTREAL TENDS TO BE SOOO ANNOYING WITH ALL THE TORNADOS IN SUMMER NOW!! 😭

Yo, Plummer. Basilica? Yes. Cathedral? No!

Imaginez un BAPE aujourd'hui pour se demander si on remplie le st-Laurent de roche pour faire des iles = pas 4 ans de construction mais 4 ans de niaisage ...à moin d'avoir Fitzgibbon qui nous miroite qu'on y planterais des éoliennes. Imagine a BAPE today to wonder if we filled the St-Lawrence with rock to make islands = not 4 years of construction but 4 years of waiting...unless we have Fitzgibbon who shimmers that we would plant there wind turbine.

4:19 Cité-Jardins en face de l'hopital Maisonneuve ( plus précisement ''Terrasse Maisonneuve '')

It was a FARCE!

I can recall a fraction of most of this liviving i the big city at yhe time

Ya, been there, done that! Thanks for bringing back the memory!

i am so proud of us when i see this was born july 67 my parents almost called me EXPO .....i know right

Montreal was at it's very best ! It was indeed a great accomplishment. It was back when Quebec was "La Belle Province"...rather than the "Je Me Souviens" it has since become.

I was there! I'm 61 now! There was a housing crisis back then too?!!!! What is the matter with these people who run our country??!!!!

I remember that right up to opening day, Anglo media was bashing Expo as another Quebec boondoggle. The CBC even said that the name "Expo" was stupid. But as usual, as soon as American and British media started to rave about it, Anglo Canadians appropriated it. It wasn't in Quebec anymore. It bacame a great Canadian event!

Canadian history, is French-Canadian history ...

Drapeau was not perfect.But he had GUTS and VISION!! And not a RACIST like Legeau .I was there! IT WAS UNREAL!!! We need a great Mayor and a great Premier not these dildos.

I cannot wait to visit Montreal this summer. Would like to come here every summer.

Bring the Expos back!

this the most Canadian thing since that time Mike Bullard filled in for goalie in that lacrosse game with those french Canadian singing nuns

Wow. The ultimate flashback to when I was 7 years old in 1967. My parents took us a number of times from Ottawa. Watching this brought back so many memories. Makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Just think that in 4 short years this amazing man made island was completed pavilions, rail, and all. I was 18 at the time and traveled twice from staid old Toronto into a thrilling moment in our history. I will never forget that experience and the joy I felt being Canadian in what seemed like a foreign land.

My parents went there on vacation. They had so much fun, I popped out 9 months later. 😆

Where's our collective dream?

Why does everyone think that Russian pavilion has become a university? It became a part of permanent exhibition in Moscow.

What a lovely video. I was lucky to attend when I was just six. I still vividly remember my wonderment and joy.
