Some scenes from the Canadian National Exhibition (aka “The C.N.E “or “The Ex”), filmed by my uncle Russell Collier. I think the footage is from 1960. Music composed June 2021.
Born and grew-up just outside of the western end of the EX at end of Aug. '51 so I turned 9 during this EX . The EX was a huge part of my life and I was there almost everyday ( it was closed Sundays till the mid '60's ) Even during the rest of the year I spent many hours riding around the CNE grounds on my bike .
What a great time it was for a young boy! My Dad got free tickets as he worked for the CoT. There was a trailer on site by the food building, always parked there. Seemed like an endless summer back then!
Wonderful footage from Uncle Russell, wonderful music from the gifted nephew. What a treat this is - especially seeing people dressed up like that. Your stately music gives them all such grace. Bravo, Doctor Doug!
