Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Centennial Commission. Train and Caravans Division : The Train and Caravans Division (or A Division) of the Planning Branch organized a project to bring actual and symbolic representations of Canada's history to communities across Canada. Beginning with an inaugural ceremony on 1 January 1967, a 15-car Confederation Train with eight exhibition cars visited 83 rail centres in the mainland provinces before retiring on 5 December 1967. For those sites that could not be visited by the trains, eight trailer-truck caravans, each with eight vehicles, travelled through the provinces and territories between May and mid-November. L.J. Maiden was the Director of the Train and Caravans Division. RG69 General Inventory
