This poster was commissioned to advertise the royal york (now the fairmont royal york),
 the stately Canadian Pacific hotel that opened in downtown Toronto in June 1929.

_MONT TREMBLANT_, BY HERBERT BAYER, 1939
This poster was commissioned to promote the glamour and excitement of skiing at the newly opened
 Mont-Tremblant resort, in Quebec. American explorer and entrepreneur Joseph Bondurant Ryan
 saw the potential for the resort after climbing the mountain in 1937, and opened it two years later.

_canada’s picturesque east coast_, by peter ewart, circa 1950
This poster was commissioned by the cpr to promote travel to the east coast, highlighting 
three seaside CPR resort destinations: St. Andrews by-the-Sea, New Brunswick;
 Digby, Nova Scotia; and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia (whose original Cape Forchu lighthouse tower is featured on the poster,
 superimposed on a sandy beach). St. Andrews (marketed as St. Andrews-by-the-Sea) became a resort town in
 the late 1800s and by the 1930s was a popular destination. The CPR rebuilt Digby’s The Pines in the late 1920s/early 1930s and constructed an 18-hole golf course.
 Located on the southern tip of Nova Scotia, Yarmouth attracted visitors travelling by steamship from the northeastern United States.
