(to continue from the previous posting) Does anyone know if the 5 folks in the commercial were also the 5 folks singing the song?(And were those 5 actually in a band at that time?And did they ever actually play anywhere at Ontario Place that year? [Or in a subsquent year?])
While I was in my childhood phase when this TV commercial aired,I (presently) have no recollection of seeing this ad.( NONETHELESS,it IS interesting to see the five poeple walking/running etc through Ontario Place also be on the stage of the Ontario Place Forum.[And while I was able to notice-for more than a few moments-someman playing drums,and-close to the end-notice somewoman play a tambourine,I could not ascertain who else played what instrument on the stage of the already-cited Forum.] )
@fizbin321 Actually, it was a large foreign owned brewery that put pressure on the Ontario government, to fold The Forum. It was a great venue that everybody loved. Now it's gone. The Forum, plus parts of Children's Village, now gone, replaced with The Molson Amphitheatre. What a waste.
oh it's still in bottles. you can get it in most bars in toronto (at least the ones worth going in!). i agree it's probably one of the only good Canadian Labatt beer!

@jeffkahl um, you have to get into the 90's. Mass produced beer tastes better right from the horse itself.

@DrPepper74719 That's right. Thank your Ontario government for that. The place was magical back in the day.

This aired in 1971. Ontario Place opened for the first time.

Nothing has changed since then, when it comes to Ontario's communist liquor laws.
