That is my home province alright. Not to mention the Toronto City Hall is still the same as it was in 1967. I was even able to recognize Hwy. 401 and Allen Rd.
"A Place to Stand" is one of those icons of Canadian cultural mythos which, to anyone of a certain age, is highly resonant. One can only marvel at a time when the sensorium/scanning patterns of people's eyes were such that this now "quaint" film dazzled the eye with its constantly shifting multiple images. The ingenious theme - a staple of Ontario Elementary School music programs well into the 70's - was composed by Dolores Claman of "Hockey Night in Canada" theme fame.

It's hard to believe a place like this existed.

I think the opening of this segment is the Kensington Open market in downtown Toronto. If not, it looks like it.

The orchestration is very well done on the main theme.
Quality and Pride went behind the making of this film
