Title – Canada
The film begins showing the family boarding a BEA plane, and next on a wide street with boys on bicycles. In a garden children are doing headstands. Then they are boarding an Air Canada flight. Following this is the arrival in a city, viewing the sights, including a large classical style building. They visit a park with large animal statues and totem poles. Three women walk around some park gardens. There are boats moored on a lake, besides which some fishermen show off their catch. After a while they get into a large white car and go to what seems to be theme park on Native American Indians. They cross over a footbridge and view a large dam. They have an ice cream beside the lake. They visit a zoo and then go on a car journey, visiting Jackass Mountain and filming the scenery of lakes, rivers and mountains. They visit a Wild West film set before continuing on their journey.
The film switches to a wedding, with a uniformed groom, and joined by other officers of the army or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They then take a boat trip along a lake which is dotted with old buildings. Following this, they attend an army display and a carnival and visit Niagara Falls. Finally, they visit Expo ’67 in Montreal.
