40 years ago Vancouver welcomed the world at Expo 86

From Global News.

Global BC’s Jason Pires digs deep into the archives to look back at Expo 86 as it marks its 40th anniversary.

We look at how the Expo almost didn’t happen for Vancouver… the triumphs that followed… and the immense legacy it left behind.

Many consider 1986 to be the turning point for the City of Vancouver.

The documentary includes interviews with the movers and shakers of the Fair, the massive influence of Jimmy Pattison, and the stories we’ll never forget.

From Princess Diana’s royal medical scare… to the crowd-favourite pavilions like BCTV.

Plus – we track down an old friend for a special update on Expo Ernie.
