Journées de la Culture 2017 - Expo67 Frenzy!

Celebrate Expo67's 50th anniversary with the City of Beaconsfield! 

If you live in Beaconsfield, bring a piece of identification with your address on it to claim your Expo67 Souvenir Passport at the Library! You can collect stamps by completing activities, just like the kids that visited Montreal's incredible World Fair in 1967! 

How can I collect stamps?

To collect stamps, you need to have your Expo67 Souvenir Passport. You also need to take part in certain activities:

"Design Your Dream Playground" Activity

For Beaconsfield residents, ages 6 to 12, with a parent. Registration required. 
At the Library, on Saturday, September 30 2017, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

During Expo67, children ages 10 and under were really happy to play at the Canadian Pavilion's playground. But what was so special about that particular playground? Become playground savvy by discovering how things were done and how things are done now, and help us design your dream playground with the other kids! Come with your most creative and original ideas!

Mini-Quiz
For children of all ages
At the Library, right now.

Learn a little bit more about Expo67 by answering a mini-quiz. To do so, visit the reference desk at the Library and answer the questions on the bookmark we will give you. Once you have finished, you will receive your stamp.

Visit the « Expo67: Canada's Centennial Crown Jewel » exhibit, presented by the Beaurepaire-Beaconsfield Historical Society 
For children of all ages
At the Library, from Sunday, September 24 to Thursday, October 26.

Come look at rare artifacts from the Gary W. Sims collection. Sims started his collection when he was 14 years old. He had special access to the Expo67 site because he was Press Correspondent for the Lachine Messenger when he was 17 years old.

Will you take part in the Expo67 frenzy?
