The 1967 International and Universal Exposition or Expo 67, as it was known, was a general exhibition, Category One World's Fair held in Montreal, Canada, from April 27 to October 29, 1967. It is considered to be the most successful World's Fair of the 20th century with the most attendees to that date and 62 nations participating, it set the single-day attendance record for a world's fair, with 569,500 visitors on its third day. Expo 67 was Canada's main celebration during its centennial year; the fair had been intended to be held in Moscow, to help the Soviet Union celebrate the Russian Revolution's 50th anniversary. The project was not well supported in Canada at first, it took the determination of Montreal's mayor, Jean Drapeau, a new team of managers to guide it past political and temporal hurdles. Defying a computer analysis that said it could not be done, the fair opened on time. After Expo 67 ended in October 1967, the site and most of the pavilions continued on as an exhibition called Man and His World, open during the summer months from 1968 until 1984.

By that time, most of the buildings—which had not been designed to last beyond the original exhibition—had deteriorated and were dismantled. Today, the islands that hosted the world exhibition are used as parkland and for recreational use, with only a few remaining structures from Expo 67 to show that the event was held there; the idea of hosting the 1967 World Exhibition dates back to 1957. "I believe it was Colonel Sevigny who first asked me to do what I could to bring Canada's selection as the site for the international exposition in 1967." Montreal's mayor, Sarto Fournier, backed the proposal, allowing Canada to make a bid to the Bureau International des Expositions. At the BIE's May 5, 1960 meeting in Paris, Moscow was awarded the fair after five rounds of voting that eliminated Austria's and Canada's bids. In April 1962, the Soviets scrapped plans to host the fair because of financial constraints and security concerns. Montreal's new mayor, Jean Drapeau, lobbied the Canadian government to try again for the fair, which they did.

On November 13, 1962, the BIE changed the location of the World Exhibition to Canada, Expo 67 went on to become the second-best attended BIE-sanctioned world exposition, after the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Several sites were proposed as the main Expo grounds. One location, considered was Mount Royal Park, to the north of the downtown core, but it was Drapeau's idea to create new islands in the St. Lawrence river, to enlarge the existing Saint Helen's Island; the choice overcame opposition from Montreal's surrounding municipalities, prevented land speculation. Expo did not get off to a smooth start; the main reason for the resignations was Mayor Drapeau's choice of the site on new islands to be created around the existing St. Helen's Island and that a computer program predicted that the event could not be constructed in time. Another more reason for the mass resignations was that on April 22, 1963, the federal Liberal government of Prime Minister Lester Pearson took power; this meant that former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservative government appointees to the board of directors of the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition were forced to resign.

Canadian diplomat Pierre Dupuy was named Commissioner General, after Diefenbaker appointee Paul Bienvenu resigned from the post in 1963. One of the main responsibilities of the Commissioner General was to attract other nations to build pavilions at Expo. Dupuy would spend most of 1964 and 1965 soliciting 125 countries, spending more time abroad than in Canada. Dupuy's'right-hand' man was Robert Fletcher Shaw, the deputy commissioner general and vice-president of the corporation, he replaced a Diefenbaker appointee, C. F. Carsley, Deputy Commissioner General. Shaw was a professional engineer and builder, is credited for the total building of the Exhibition. Dupuy hired Andrew Kniewasser as the general manager; the management group became known as Les Durs—the tough guys—and they were in charge of creating and managing Expo. Les Durs consisted of: Jean-Claude Delorme, Legal Counsel and Secretary of the Corporation. To this group the chief architect Édouard Fiset was added. All ten were honoured by the Canadian government as recipients of the Order of Canada, Companions for Dupuy and Shaw, Officers for the others.

Jasmin wrote a book, in French, La petite histoire d'Expo 67, about his 45-month experience at Expo and created the Expo 67 Foundation to commemorate the event for future generations. As historian Pierre Berton put it, the cooperation between Canada's French- and English-speaking communities "was the secret of Expo's success—'the Québécois flair, the English-Canadian pragmatism.'" However, Berton points out that this is an over-simplification of national stereotypes. Arguably Expo did, for a short period anyway, bridge the'Two Solitudes.' In May 1963, a group of prominent Canadian thinkers—including Alan Jarvis, director of the National Gallery of Canada.

Bristol City W. F. C. was a women's association football club based in Bristol in the 2000s. The club was affiliated to Bristol City F. C. and played in the South West Combination, FA Women's Premier League Southern Division, FA Women's Premier League National Division. The first women's team to represent Bristol City were not part of the football club, but were an independent team, Bristol United, with no affiliation to Bristol City. In 1990 they were invited to represent City by using the club's name. Four years City began work developing their own women's football section when fathers Roger Bowyer and Andy Baylis, began entering girls' teams in local 6-a-side leagues. From these beginnings a senior women's team grew, worked their way up the leagues, they won the South-West Combination in the 2001–02 season, winning promotion to the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division. It took them just two seasons in the Southern Division to win promotion to the FA Women's Premier League National Division, finishing the 2003–04 season with a record of 18 wins, three draws and three defeats to top the Southern table.

Promotion meant they would now play in the top flight of English women's football, where they would join local rivals Bristol Rovers in the National Division. City found life at the top of the women's game difficult, their stay in the National Division lasted for just a single season, they ended the 2004–05 campaign with just 9 points and were relegated straight back down to the Southern Division. Two years in May 2007, Bristol City announced that they would no longer fund a women's team; the club became part of the TeamBath group of sports teams. The name Bristol City returned to women's football in 2016, however. In a strange twist City took over, renamed, FA WSL side Bristol Academy. Although they had been renamed in the meantime, Academy were the same team, City's fierce rivals of the late 90s and early 2000s: Bristol Rovers, it was announced in November 2015 that Academy would become Bristol City W. F. C

In March 2008, the GBB competed again in the Honors section and scored an impressive 288.6 points, enough to give them their second championship banner in three attempts.
