All Together Now contributor Maurice Guibord and curator Viviane Gosselin acknowledge the 50th anniversary of Expo 67 with insights, memories and collectables from this ground-breaking Canadian event.

Did you attend Expo 67 – the world exposition in Montreal, held during Canada’s 100th anniversary? Join historian, All Together Now contributor and penultimate Expo-phile Maurice Guibord and share your memories and souvenirs. Indeed, some of us enthusiasts did purchase and wear tacky sombreros on the Expo site as if it was the coolest thing to do that summer!

Expo 67 had varying impacts on various communities; the exhibition meant different things to different people. What did Canada gain from the Expo 67 experience, and what did people take home with them? How did this event impact Montreal and other French-Canadians and Anglophone communities across the country? On many levels Expo 67 was a formative event for Canada, and an indelible moment in our history and our consciousness. Let’s celebrate it together on its 50th anniversary!
