Expo 67 was Canada’s main celebration during its centennial year. The fair had been intended to be held in Moscow, to help the Soviet Union celebrate the Russian Revolution’s 50th anniversary; however, for various reasons, the Soviets decided to cancel, and Canada was awarded it in late 1962.
After Expo 67 ended in October 1967, the site and most of the pavilions continued on as an exhibition called Man and His World, open during the summer months from 1968 until 1984.

Today, the islands that hosted the world exhibition are mainly used as parkland and for recreational use, with only a few remaining structures from Expo 67 to show that the event was held there.
Take a look at these amazing photos from Austin Hall to see what the Montreal Expo 1967 looked like.
“These photos were found on the street in Cambridge, MA. They were originally glued onto scrapbook sheets like this. I’ve attempted to arrange them in a sensible order based on page numbering and picture content, but this is the best I could do.
Most of the photos were “tagged” with a labelmaker and I have placed these labels in the “Description” field. Some of the labels have been adjusted for the sake of clarity.
To the best of my knowledge, these photos were taken by Lillian Seymour.”
