However, the song that most Canadians associate with Expo was written by [[Bobby Gimby]], a veteran commercial jingle writer who composed the popular Centennial tune "[[Canada (1967 song)|Ca-na-da]]".<ref name="Bobby Gimby">{{cite news |title=Stampede Parade Highlight Country's Centennial Theme |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=mmNkAAAAIBAJ&dq=bobby%20gimby&pg=2891%2C836865 |access-date=April 25, 2012 |newspaper=The Calgary Herald |date=July 4, 1967 |location=Calgary, Alberta |page=19}}</ref> Gimby earned the name the "[[Pied Piper of Hamelin|Pied Piper]] of Canada".<ref>Berton, pp.30–33</ref>

The theme song "[[Something to Sing About]]", used for the Canadian pavilion, had been written for a 1963 television special.<ref name="Hey Friend Doris Claman" /> The Ontario pavilion also had its own theme song: "[[A Place to Stand, A Place to Grow]]", which has evolved to become an unofficial theme song for the province.<ref name="A Place to Stand">{{cite news |last=Scrivener |first=Leslie |title=Forty Years On, A Song Retains Its Standing |url=https://www.thestar.com/article/205867 |access-date=April 26, 2012 |newspaper=The Toronto Star |date=April 22, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120925203428/http://www.thestar.com/article/205867 |archive-date=September 25, 2012 |location=Toronto |page=D4 |url-status=live}}</ref>
