Expo 67 and my Career Choice

     45 years ago , on October 29th, Expo 67 closed it's doors for the last time. It is generally accepted that Expo 67 was the most successful worlds fair of the 20th Century. On the third day it was open over 560,000 people went through the turnstiles.
     I was only 10 years old at the time. All our friends and family descended on our home that summer to stay with us and visit Expo. I went over 70 times that summer and fall. At times, I was sent with the visitors to show them around. I knew exactly where to park, how much it cost, where to get the Expo Express train and which pavilions to see first.I enjoyed the look on their faces when they saw the dome of the US pavilion, shown above, or the gondolas in the canals and heard  the steel bands at the Trinidad and Tobago pavilion.
     I think that I changed in 1967. That was the year when I discovered I enjoyed instructing people. As a result, I later became a teacher, I specialized in adult education. 7 years ago, I became a mortgage broker. My Expo 67 experience and my teaching career have served me well in my new career. I still enjoy showing people how they can become home owners sooner. My biggest thrill is telling people that they are approved and now own a home.
      With recent changes to CMHC mortgage rules coming down from the Canadian government it is getting more and more difficult to obtain home financing and even harder to refinance an existing home. Mortgage brokers are getting busier than ever because of these rule changes. Only a mortgage broker can explain the differences and find a way to make your home financing dream possible.
