Vancouver. Street scenes, large art deco building. Busy streets with cars and people. Greenbelt land surrounded by trees, sign ‘Site of New Shopping Centre’, post war consumer boom. Countryside, beautiful lakes. Man in suit sits smoking by lake, he smiles at the camera. Lakeside house.
Hudson’s Bay Company building. Ruined building/ block. Sign ‘Blue River Vancouver’. POV from back of train through mountains. Mount Robson. Jasper town. Window washer cleaning windows of Canada National train. EXT station sign ‘Summer vacation plan now CNR’. EXT Hudson’s Bay Company factory, digger moving rubble in FG.
Stunning street scene at dusk, Vancouver (could be US) people walk along street, neon signs lit up. Trams and cars past. Family cross the road. Old fashioned popcorn and peanut cart. Suburbs.

Excuse me, but at 01:14, we see the Manitoba Legislature! I've lived in both Vancouver and Winnipeg, and I can tell these two cities apart.

Video title is misleading. Only the first one minute is Vancouver. Then switches to Winnipeg, and later Chicago and another eastern US city.

Given the river scene early on in this, it looks like someone took a train trip from the west coast to the great lakes via the Rockies. Film in those days would have been expensive and used sparingly. A fun game to play at home, though: guess where we are now?
