Clip offers glimpses of life in Toronto, Canada, during the late ‘60s.

Clip starts with wide shots of a sunset over the city and a nearby dock. An empty street, pan across a city port. Wide shot of the city across the water. A few people walk on a city street. A fountain is running near the entrance of a skyscraper. A man opens up a produce market. A dressed-up couple walks down a street and get  lightly sprayed by a passing cleaning truck. Young man on his bike delivers newspapers in a neighborhood. A cat slips out the door of a home. A train moves down tracks. Horses run on a race track, carrying people on carts. Two men jog on grass. Wide shot of a fountain. A ship captain blows his horn, and two bicyclists board the ship. The ship leaves a dock; the captain controls the ship's wheel.

Tourists board a tour boat that will run through a canal. The tour guide talks into a microphone. People: visit a park, walk, canoe, fish, feed ducks, eat, play, enjoy various rides. Other people gather near the open water, get on boats, play in the sand, and fly planes. People dive at an outdoor pool. People play tennis. Lastly, a football game is underway - perhaps the game is a part of the Canadian Football League.
