The 1986 Fair Theme was “Transportation and Communication: World in Motion – World in Touch”, coincided with Vancouver’s centennial and was held on the north shore of False Creek. It was the second time that Canada held a World’s Fair, the first being Expo ’67 in Montreal (during the Canadian Centennial) which was the most successful world’s fair in world history, attracting some 50 million people at a time when Canada’s population was only 20 million. -Shannon Persowich, spacecaet design
