Do you remember <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Expo_67\">Expo67, <\/a>\u00a0a World&#8217;s Fair held in Montreal? It was a remarkable show in spite of the inevitable strikes. My wife and I enjoyed Expo and courtesy of a bus strike we were able to see so many more pavilions.<\/p>\n<p>Kodak advertised their cameras (and indirectly their films) with tasteful ads such as the bilingual one shown here.<\/p>\n<p>Expo67 was a wonderful opportunity for all photographers to show off their abilities. The Ontario pavilion had a multi-image slide show of provincial photos and videos &#8211; plus a now famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KvfzMhJqV3g\">song<\/a>. The show and song were eventually released as a f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o0F10Sc3Vcw\">ilm shown here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The bilingual \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cH1VDXm1MzQ\">theme song<\/a> for Canada and the fair was written by Bobbie Gimby. We owe a thank you to our diligent photo-historian, George Dunbar, for sharing this piece of Canadian photographic history with us.<\/p>\n<p>NB.
