Could somone elaborate on what they want photographed? I won't have any original pictures from Expo 86, but I can take pictures in vancouver Apfejes 22:39, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- I would say any of the remaining elements from the fair - buildings, signs, etc. Unsigned comment by Themepark 03:07, August 22, 2006 (UTC)
- I have pictures from 1986. I will upload one or more once I have located them. In the meantime, I think it would be great to have something highlighting how Canada Place or BC Place is being used now (in contrast to it being part of Expo 86). I'll leave it to your imagination as to how that can be accomplished. Canadiana 13:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
  - I'm away for about a week, but when I come back, I'll go take a few shots - it sounds like fun. Apfejes 14:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

The theme for Expo 86 was disputed in the Vancouver discussion. In case this discussion appears here, I wanted to explain why I have corrected the theme on the Expo 86 page. Although the general theme for Expo was "Transportation and Communications", the theme was expanded to include "World in Motion - World in Touch." See Expo Museum, [Canadian Encyclopedia, and Canadian Heritage site on expos. --Westendgirl 05:54, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Monorail

I heard recently that there is still a monorail station in the Plaza of Nations building, including a short section of track. There isn't much in this building so most people have no reason to go there and hence have no idea it's still there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.232.127.117 (talk) 19:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Cost

"The final cost of the fair ended up being CDN $8 million under budget." "Deficit : $311,000,000" Clearly, these two numbers don't add up. I'm marking for citations needed. Caulfield14 15:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
