A Lasting Legacy

In keeping with our commitment to sustainability, we carefully dismantled the Canada Pavilion rather than demolishing it.  A full 75% of the building materials are slated for re-use. A few elements from the Pavilion have found new homes in Japan ensuring that the Pavilion’s spirit continues beyond Expo 2025.
