One of the new features at the grounds that year was the Canadome 72, a geodesic dome-shaped tent, in which Information Canada bilingually explained the workings of government. The display was meant to take a light-hearted look at the Canadian people and their elected representatives, attempting to poke holes some of the stereotypes Canadians had created, and at the same time trying to promote Canadian unity.In July 1973, Queen Elizabeth visited Alberta and Saskatchewan in honour of the RCMPs centennial.
