The year 1942 saw Canadians in battle in Europe as the Second World War raged on, Japanese-Canadians relocated to internment camps in one of the country's darkest political moves, a team made up of members of the air force win the Grey Cup, and Phil Esposito's birth.
There were also a couple of sunny days in Vancouver, which were captured in this video.
You may have seen the remastered 1907 video we previously shared; this time it's Vancouver that got the special treatment, with colourized footage that's been enhanced and stabilized. YouTube channel History in Color uploaded this particular clip.
The video shows a lot of the city, notably famous sites like Lions Gate Bridge, the Hotel Vancouver, and the Capilano Suspension Bridge. While they're all historic sites now, they were much newer then. At the time, Vancouver's population would have been around 300,000.
Much of the footage came from footage from Grey Line Tours, according to notes in the video's description.
