At the 3:24 mark: you'll see what was then our new flag. That was introduced in 1965. I am guessing this was done in 1966 or so. Great nostalgia. Love the old cars and styles of what people were wearing, 40 years ago. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video! I don't know of any other city that has evolved the way Toronto has, in the past 50 yrs

OMG! look at the old popcorn selling bicycle. LOL

Agree, at least 1966 based on the yellow Mustang that looks to be a 66 (but would have been released in the Fall of 65).

Hi there, I just wondered if Mr Gent is available to contact, I would love to use this as part of a documentary I am currently making on Muhmmad Ali, he visited Toronto in 1966. If you could get back to me that would be great! All the best, Chris
