The 1960s were one of the most exciting decades in Canadian history. We launched one of the world’s first satellites. We had a new flag. We celebrated our 100th birthday and hosted Expo 67. It was an optimistic time, reflected in our clothes, furnishings, art and architecture. Made in Canada explores the decade through the things Canadians designed, and looks at social influences ranging from government programmes which promoted Canadian culture, to the youth culture which drove everything else. An essential book for anyone who remembers the 1960s, as well as anyone interested in one of Canada’s most pivotal decades.
