1967: Canada Welcomes the World

Expo 67’s aim was ‘to provide an explanation of the world to each and everyone of its visitors’. 1967: Canada Welcomes the World is a documentary project focused on the national pavilions of the sixty countries that participated in Montreal's 1967 World Exhibition [Expo 67]. Every pavilion will be accessible through photos, footage, architectural drawings and promotional materials. What did those countries showcase at Expo 67? What kind of images were Canadian people presented with?

For its production, we conducted extensive research on the collections from the Centennial Commission and the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition at Library and Archives Canada, in Ottawa. The found records are of exceptional quality, and we were able to digitize hundreds of unpublished images.

1967: Canada Welcomes the World is a project in collaboration with Constanza Burucúa and partially supported by Western University.
