Hi! I worked as a waiter in the Irish restaurant called Le Shillelagh on St Helen’s Island in 1968. It was a good place to work during the Summer and make so money as a student. I haven’t been back to Canada in forty years and I must make the trip soon!!!

I’m thinking it might have been a “serpentarium” but I haven’t had a chance to do any detective work on that yet!

What a charming photograph! Are those ‘stickers’ on the car? I know where the ‘Ausable Chasm’ is, but what might the other be for?

Wow they did build it up a lot, didn’t they? Thanks for sharing this, Evelyn!

Hey thanks for your comments on my blog. It is true that major events like Expo 67 affected so many people that preserving these memories is an important part of capturing this country’s history. I hadn’t noticed that I wrote bicentennial, I must’ve had 1976 America on the brain!
Great site!
