Carabram a success

As like last year, Carabram's Canada pavilion was again a success. The exhibit included artwork by Debra Ali, Marguerite Finlayson, Paul Highgate, Emily Kowalik, Conrad Mieschke, Keith Moreau, and Peter Scott.

In all, 40,000 people were expected to visit Carabram's 14 pavilions, many of them visiting Canada at the CAW hall on Regan Road. The Brampton Guardian's public photo database has pictures from many of the pavilions, including Canada. Among guests were a member of Canada's women Olympic hockey team and Duke Redbird of Citytv.
