EXPO’S campaign slogan
What the World is Coming
To took on a new meaning
for visitors to the fair’s
travelling exhibit at Park
Royal Shopping Centre
Tuesday.

Many of the guests at the of-
ficial exhibit opening noticed van-
dals had stolen the Expo banner
and a flag from B.C.’s Mobile Pa-
vilion.

The pavilion is parked outdoors,
adjacent to Woodward's Food
Floor.

Security personnel were on site
at the time, but vandals succeeded
Monday evening in cutting down
the welcoming banner, which was
bolted to a wooden board above
the pavilion entrance.

The outdoor mobile pavilion has
been vandalized once before dur-
ing its promotional travels in the
interior of B.C.

But organizers said they didn’t
expect any problems in West Van-
couver.

‘““We were lucky. They tried to
break in by kicking the door and
there’s a couple of hundred-thou-
sand dollars worth of equipment in
there — projectors, computers and
robotic arms,”’ said one employee,
who asked not to be named.

$30,000 WORTH

John Stubbs, manager of the
province’s Mobile Pavilion,said the
robotic equipment alone is worth
$30,000.

He added the West Vancouver
preview show was a_ success,
despite the vandalism, attracting
about 300 people.

“The goal we really want to ac-
complish is getting the word out to
the province,’’ Stubbs said. ‘‘Since
May we've visited 18 communities.
We pretty well blanketed the pro-
vince.” .

In West Vancouver and other
Lower Mainland locations, the
B.C. Mobile Pavilion is being seen
in combination with the provincial
government’s indoor travelling ex-
hibit.

Tour co-ordinator Shawn
Robins said when the travelling
exhibit ends in April about
1,000,000 people will have seen the
show.

SHOPPERS ATTRACTED

He said the mails are a good
location to host the exhibit because
of space requirements and the
large number of people shopping
centres attract.

A highlight of the indoor exhib-
it, said Robins, is a small-scale
model of the Expo site.

He said information staff will be
available, throughout the exhibit’s
week-long stay on the North
Shore, to answer questions.’

Robins said another popular
display is Bob the bus driver who
talks to viewers about the B.C.
Transit system in a unique audio-
visual display.

“It’s really quite a dramatic
display, which uses a Disney tech-
nique of rear screen projection.
People stand there for the longest
time and we always get asked
whether or not he’s real,’’ he said.

A 20-minute film is shown every |

half hour, dealing specifically with
what visitors can expect to see at
the B.C. Pavilion.

Expo’s travelling exhibit will be
at Park Royal until Sat., Feb. 8.
