About the poster: In 1971, the Canadian Government Travel Bureau launched a striking series of posters to promote tourism across the country. Designed during a period of growing national identity and cultural pride, the posters blended bold graphic design with vivid imagery showcasing Canada’s diverse landscapes—from the Rockies to the Maritimes, urban skylines to natural wonders. Created by a range of talented Canadian artists and designers, the series reflected the modernist design trends of the time: clean lines, vibrant colors, and minimal text. These posters not only encouraged travel within and to Canada, but also became iconic examples of mid-century Canadian graphic design. Today, they are prized by collectors for their artistic merit and nostalgic value.
