What We Miss About Growing Up in Canada in the 1970s

Remember when a dollar bought a comic, pop, and chips? 🇨🇦

If you grew up in 1970s Canada, you experienced a golden age of freedom, community, and unforgettable culture. This deep dive captures the unique rhythm of the decade—from shag carpeting and wood paneling to the Summit Series and Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope.

We're going back to the simplicity of 70s Canadian life and exploring the moments that can never be replicated:
SATURDAY RITUALS: Waking up for Rocket Robin Hood, Mr. Dressup, and a massive bowl of Sugar Crisp cereal.
THE CORNER STORE: The magic of penny candy, O-Pee-Chee hockey cards, and trading doubles on the sidewalk.
CHILDHOOD FREEDOM: Playing road hockey until the street lights came on and exploring the neighborhood without supervision.
HOCKEY FEVER: The nation-stopping drama of the 1972 Summit Series and the patriotic feeling when Paul Henderson scored.
THE SOUNDTRACK: Listening to Gordon Lightfoot, BTO, and The Guess Who on your AM transistor radio.
CANADIAN PRIDE: The enduring courage and inspiration of Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope.
What we miss most about the 1970s is the pace—the time to breathe, dream, and connect. If you lived it, you know exactly what we mean.
