Today, Vancouver is known as one of the most liveable – and expensive – cities in the world. The mix of
urban vitality and natural beauty to be found there is like no other place. But just over thirty years ago,
the city was not much more than a sleepy town surrounded by rainforest on the stunningly beautiful west
coast of Canada. That was until Expo 86 came along. Vancouver would never be the same again.
The 1986 World Exposition on Transportation and Communication, or simply ‘Expo 86’, was a World’s
Fair held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The fair’s theme was ‘Transportation and
Communication: World in Motion – World in Touch’, and it coincided with Vancouver’s 100th birthday.
It ran from May to October and was held on the north shore of False Creek, a short inlet in the heart of
Vancouver. It is widely recognized as the event that well and truly put Vancouver on the map.
The preparation for Expo 86 was not without controversy. As the city prepared to welcome the arrival of
visitors, the authorities evicted more than a thousand low-income residents of Vancouver’s Downtown
Eastside from their long-term homes in cheap hotels, sometimes with a little as a single day's notice. The
hotels were torn down. Despite this, most people remember Expo 86 fondly as Vancouver’s coming of
age, and the 1986 World's Fair certainly left a legacy still enjoyed today. The SkyTrain, Vancouver’s
‘underground’, was built for Expo 86, as were Science World, the Plaza of Nations, BC Place – a huge
venue for concerts and sporting events – and the Canada Place Trade and Convention Centre.
The Trade and Convention Centre was built because years before Expo, there was talk of Vancouver’s
need for a convention centre. Canada Place was the site of the Canada Pavilion during the Expo. The
iconic landmark with the white roof that resembles sails is now a hub for tourism and serves as the port
for cruise ships.
After the fair, the sale of the site where it had taken place helped to start the urban redevelopment that has
established Vancouver as one of the world’s most liveable cities.
