Montreal, Quebec - CANADA - EXPO 67

Description: Montreal, Quebec - CANADA - EXPO 67 - Alcan Pavilion: The 1967 International and Universal Exposition, commonly known as Expo 67, was a general exhibition from April 28 to October 29, 1967. It was a category one world's fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is considered to be one of the most successful World's Fairs of the 20th century with the most attendees to that date and 62 nations participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a world's fair, with 569,500 visitors on its third day. The Aluminum Company of Canada., principal subsidiary of Alcan Aluminum Ltd., built the project as a joint and permanent venture with the City of Montreal. A fascinating variety of marine life is revealed in the Alcan Pavilion and the Alcan Dolphin Pool which together form the Montreal Aquarium. These structures are two of the few buildings on the site which will remain open after Expo 67 closes. The buildings, located only a few steps from La Ronde station of the Expo-Express, are harmoniously set in the Amusement Area of the Ile Sainte-Hélèn on the banks of Dolphin Lake. Immediately upon entering the Alcan Pavilion the visitor faces a colony of penguins in Antarctic conditions. The next spectacle is one of the most outstanding collections of salt water and freshwater life in North America. There are minute fish weighing less than one ounce and others ranging up to enormous 350-pound groupers. The south-sea coral reef exhibit is bathed in a fairyland of color. The Alcan Dolphin Pool features a troupe of trained dolphins performing acrobatic feats above and below the water. This Photochromatic postcard is in good condition. Benjamin New Co.
