Vancouver Forever Changed by Expo ’86
Season 4 Episode 420 | 5m 1sVideo has Closed Captions
How the last World’s Fair to be held in North America transformed a city.
Vancouver’s Expo ’86 was the last World’s Fair to be held in North America, and like the previous fairs in the region (Seattle’s 1962 World’s Fair and Spokane’s Expo ’74), it was a transformational event for the city. The fair’s theme was transportation and communications, and it also commemorated Vancouver’s centennial.
