Vancouver Forever Changed by Expo ’86

Vancouver’s Expo ’86 was the last World’s Fair to be held in North America, and like the previous fairs in the region (Seattle’s 1962 World’s Fair and Spokane’s Expo ’74), it was a transformational event for the city. The fair’s theme was transportation and communications, and it also commemorated Vancouver’s centennial.

although it opened the doors for 'world entry/investment' on the other hand it destroyed much of the city's civility, soul, sense of harmony. I enjoyed the migration culture opportunities, but I think the influx of immigrants was not managed wisely.
