		The Expo Line is named for Expo 86, the world's fair which Vancouver hosted in 1986.
		During Expo 86, special shuttle trains ran from a third track at Stadium-Chinatown Station (where there was a connection to the monorail serving the main site of the world's fair) to the Canadian pavilion at Waterfront Station.
		The Expo Line travels underground from Waterfront to Stadium Stations, mainly through the Dunsmuir Tunnel, a tunnel previously used by the Canadian Pacific Railway to connect its mainline tracks along Burrard Inlet to its former yard on False Creek.

		Expo planners divided the False Creek site into six color zones, a concept which allows visitors to explore the basically linear grounds amid buildings, benches and flamboyant banners all painted or dyed in vibrant Day-Glo hues, splendid when the sun is shining, as it does most of the time during a typical Vancouver summer.
		Expo's transportation theme is commemorated in three light-hearted plazas where fanciful and authentic ships, aircraft and land vehicles have become sculptural pieces which play before the eyes like larger-than-life, three-dimensional cartoons.
		Saudi Arabia, the only Arab nation represented at Expo 86, presented a thoughtfully balanced mix of modern developments in transportation and communications, the timeless message of Islam and the crafts and lore of a traditional desert environment which, by the end of June, was drawing a steady stream of visitors.

		Such structural change is contributing to the ongoing transformation of industrial land in the centre of the city, towards residential and commercial uses, and this has increased land values in the inner city, the locale for much of Vancouver's low cost housing stock.
		Expo '86 came into being during a major recession in British Columbia and Vancouver as resource industries were being ravaged by global restructuring processes, and while a highly contentious restraint programme was being developed and implemented by a neo-conservative provincial government.
		Expo '86 was designed to be a feel good spectacle to help people forget the conflict and economic hardships being felt in the 1980s, while also creating jobs (construction and tourism), and demonstrating to the world potential investment opportunities in various sectors of the economy, including real estate (Ley and Olds, 1988).

		The Montreal International and Universal Exposition, or Expo 67 for short, was held on two islands built in the St. Lawrence River for the fair.
		Massive feats of engineering were pulled off to double the size of one of the islands and to create from scratch the second, build a new bridge to them, and to construct an entirely new subway--the Montreal Metro--to help move all of the visitors to the fair.
		After the official end of Expo 67 many exhibits and their sponsors changed, for instance the U.S. pavilion became a giant aviary and semi-exotic zoo.

		The 10 Sunset reporters and photographers who sized up the opening agreed on one thing: to see Expo in a day or two, you need a plan and must be selective.
		We especially liked A Freedom to Move at Expo Centre's Omnimax; Ontario's 3-D Imax (you feel you're flying in a flock of Canada geese); and Transitions, another 3-D Imax at the CN Theatre at Canada Place.

		One of the favourite experiences of my youth was spending almost all of the summer of 1967 at the world's fair that was held in my home town at the time.

		In fact, it appears that about the only thing the Canadians did wrong in their preparations for Expo 86 was to underestimate their achievements.
		They modestly told the world they would sell 13.7 million visits during the full 165 days of the fair, then turned around and sold 15 million before the gates opened.
