Comment

Montreal hosted the 1967 International and Universal Exhibition. It was a great success, attracting a total of 50,000,000 visitors over a 6-month period, a number larger than the population of all of Canada at the time. The exhibition continued until its final closure in 1981. This medal was issued in 1977 to mark the 10th anniversary of the event.
