On the first of July, 1967, Canada celebrated its one-hundredth "birthday", its centennial year. Through entire Canada activities were planned. Throughout the entire nation, people were celebrating and having fun. An example of these huge festivities are "The Canada Festival" they offered a huge selection of great entertaining shows, every city celebrated it differently, some even build landing pads for UFO's or even incredibly large festivals like the Expo 67 which was held in Montreal from April 28 till October 27, which is nearly a full month or partying. Most activities were held in Ottawa, where an incredible sound and light show got projected onto the Canadian Parliament Buildings.
The Expo 67 was the biggest and best event of Canada's 100th anniversary celebration and a great symbol of national pride for Canadians

However everything turned out excellent, when the Expo opened its doors on the 28th of April, 1967, it was a glamorous spectacle. They even had a large monorail train that drove over the incredibly large terrain which included an oversized dome and an innovative housing complex called Habitat '67.
Sixty countries created small and quite large havens, some pretty sober while others were greatly designed and build.
