    Why is this collection different?
    Most of the pictures are my own: I was there, from opening day to closing day. I was a 13 year old Boy Scout usher in the front row of the closing ceremonies. I took pictures of Lady Baden Powell on Scouting Day, and I was in the front row of the photographers as the Canadian Centennial Canoe pageant reached the finish line. I took vast numbers of pictures from movie screens and of national/industrial exhibits – not just pictures of the marvellous architecture! For example, lots of people took pictures of the outside of the Canadian People Tree – how many went inside to take pictures? I did!
    At the successor exhibition Man and His World in 1968 - 70, I was there at the opening
    and
    closing ceremonies, plus much more.
    This collection is for the personal, non-exclusive, non-commercial use of the buyer.
    Expo 67 ran from April 28 to October 29, 1967 (all of the publicity and posters state October 27, but they had extended the fair for two days). Expo drew more than 50 million people.
