"Film concerning the 1967 International and Universal Exposition, also known as Expo '67, held in Montréal. It begins with a sequence explaining the modes of transportation used by visitors to reach Montréal, with mention of the major activities of the company Canadian Pacific, such as air, sea and train transportation. Includes a presentation of the major themes of Expo '67 such as urban housing (as illustrated by the housing complex called Habitat 67), the human body, sports, music, exploration, Man in the Community, and the problems of the human race including the demand for energy resources and the demographic explosion. Includes a presentation of 36 of the national pavilions, of some of the state and provincial pavilions, of some industrial pavilions, and of other thematic pavilions. The Canadian Pacific - Cominco pavilion receives more thorough coverage. This is followed by some information on La Ronde amusement park. It concludes with speculation that the exposition Man and His World will become permanent and will be revised the following year."
