    The picture quality is amazing for 1966.

      That's motion picture film for you. The digital movie cameras took until the 2010s to match it.

    I was born in Dec. 64 and I love seeing footage of what Toronto was like when I was born, this is probably the best quality footage I've seen.

    Back when the Royal York Hotel was proudly proclaimed to be the tallest building in the British Empire. It is dwarfed today. Also, Toronto was a safe city. A person could walk around the city at any time of the day or night in relative safety.

    Great footage. Thanks.
    Looking south from city hall many of those building are still there. And some torn down. Looking north from city hall, the vast majority in the immediate vicinity are gone. Love the look at 1:07 of the Ford Hotel, and also the empty Canada Life south garden before Campbell House was moved there.
    And, of course, the Ex in its pre-1985 splendour. The CNE was great until the 1985 season when it started being whittled down to the little that remains today. I worked there in 1984 and upon my return in 1985, was saddened to see how much of it didn't return. But I get it, it was transitioning from a true comprehensive exhibition of products, services, foods, technology, agriculture and livestock into a parking lot midway and a racetrack.

      Worked there in the summer of 1981 and it was great. Really loved the old original “exhibition” concept of the Ex.

    In 65 I was a little kid that lived on Ward's Island. I would wonder to myself.
    'I live in Canada, what's that place?' As i looked across the water at the city.

    Wow, almost like drone footage! Wonder what the people were running from in the last few seconds? A lot of litter on the CNE grounds. Awesome!!

      That little clip at the end made the video feel more 21 century. We’re always having to prepare to run while in public spaces. 😐

    I think it's at least 1967. The new Canadian Maple leaf flag wasn't incorporated until that year. But what awesome aerial footage!

    1:40 This is some very early of the Canadian flag. The flag became the official flag on 15 Feb 1965, and this footage takes place 6 months later at the end of August.

    OK, someone is not explaining what has been done here... this HAS to be 16 or 35mm film footage that has been cleaned up and stabilized with AI, with the frame rate increased to make it look like HD video... because HD video was NOT a thing back in 1965. Heck, using standard def NTSC video outdoors was barely a thing back then except for sports!! That said, using ai to upconvert old film footage is a fantastic way to bring the past to life, making things instantly relatable.
