Show detail Hide detail

Television documentary on Canada's Centenary. The year of celebration is depicted in all its exuberance and colourful fanfare as the camera travels from coast to coast recording scenes and events marking the historic occasion. Cross-country travel becomes a centennial theme as runners are seen leaving Ottawa carrying the Centennial Flame to Canada's far corners; the Centennial Train and Caravan traverse the country visiting various towns and communities en route; and the Centennial Canoe Race is shown at various stages of its dramatic journey following the historic "trappers trail" from Rocky Mountain, Alberta to Montreal, Quebec. Sequences on projects, contests, country fairs, rodeos, band parades, parties, sporting events, and festive occasions of every kind present a kaleidoscope of national celebration. Recalling Canada's social and cultural heritage are the Nova Scotia Fisheries Museum and Glace Bay Miners' Museum; the exhibition of Eskimo Art in New York; and the reconstruction of pioneer life at Dundurn Castle in Hamilton. Seen are: Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in Ottawa; Princess Alexandra and the Duke of Kent in Calgary; Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon in London, England; the Centennial Commissioner, John Fisher; the Secretary of State, Judy LaMarsh; Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson; Governor General Roland Michener; and Mme Vanier. Footage includes scenes of: the RCMP Tattoo; Expo 67; the 1st Canadian Winter Games in Quebec City; the Centennial parade and ball in New York; and the Oxfam Parade. <90mn>
