Forty years later, we take a look back on the legacy of Vancouver hosting the world. Stephen reminisces with Claude Richmond, the province's minister of tourism at the time. 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 Coquihalla Highway.
