January 15 - The Eaton's catalogue is discontinued (sigh...no more pre-Christmas periods of laying on the floor, flipping thru the pages and imaging playing with all those toys that were illustrated)
June 25 - The CN Tower opens to the public.
June 30 - Parliament votes to abolish the death penalty.
July 17 - Opening Ceremony of the Montreal Summer Olympics
But most importantly...the first TimBit is produced and eaten! No more throwing away the center of donuts! Horray for Canada!
