Background Information, from Maclean's Report on May 1, 1967
THERE will be room at the fair — despite all those scary No-Room-at-the-Expo-Inn stories. True, Logexpo, the official accommodation agency, was appallingly slow in getting started. And, as the world now knows, Expo succeeded in getting itself enmeshed in some pretty painful publicity—first sensational charges of fraud, then allegations of racial discrimination. But both these scares were simply partisan political mischief-making. Ample accommodation does exist at reasonable rates, even though some hotels and motels are inflating prices.
Senior Expo officials are confident they’ll find bed and board even for those who arrive with no bookings at all. After spending a week in Montreal checking their claims 1 found no evidence that they’re not right. Says André Mercier, Expo’s chief of visitor services: “1 will personally guarantee that no one will have to sleep on a park bench. If anyone runs into trouble at the last minute we’ll be organized to fix them up there and then, right on the spot.”
Logexpo guarantees 80 percent of its accommodation (divided into six categories) is within 45 minutes of an Expo entrance. When it receives your form or letter it makes a reservation for you as requested. It notifies you how to confirm your reservation and you then send a deposit to the hotel, motel or whatever, directly. You do not at any time send any money to Logexpo. It is up to you to confirm your reservation yourself once Logexpo has found you a place. Incidentally, this made it unlikely any widespread fraud could have taken place; a thorough investigation by Quebec police found no wrongdoing or negligence by Logexpo.
