And all of that information just became a white paper called “Homes of Tomorrow Survey” for Vancouver-based real estate marketing, brokerage, and advisory firm Rennie.

  • What was the lasting impact of Expo '86?
    May 5 2026

    Vancouver’s World Exposition on Transportation and Communication - or Expo 86 - left quite the legacy on the growing city. And now 40 years later, we take a look at that year of change and excitement. Stephen reminisces with Claude Richmond, the province's minister of Tourism during Expo '86. We hear from Canadian photographer Michael de Courcy about the 2,000 photos he took at the world's fair. And our Fraser Valley reporter looks back at the opening of the the Coquihalla Highway, also celebrating its 40th anniversary.
