Canada Pavilion - Shanghai Expo 2010

The Shanghai World Expo is fast approaching! Only less than two months away. Canada is in the midst of finishing up the construction of its "C" shaped pavilion (stands for Canada, communities and creativity).

Here are some information on the Canada Pavilion:

Mark Rowswell will serve as the Commissioner General for Canada. Mark aka Dashan (大山) is virtually unknown to the rest of the world, but he is an A-lister celebrity and comedian in China. I grew up watching him on television in the 80s.

Shanghai is sister city with Montreal, so it is fitting that Cirque du Soleil has been hired to perform the culture portion for the pavilion.

There is also an Invest in Canada week held from May 31 to June 4. This event is aimed at attracting businesses from life science, automotive, sustainable energy and digital gaming industries to invest in Canada.
