This simple informational leaflet is basically an updated edition of the red ‘I Know / Je Sais‘ piece (CM86), and was issued closer to, and during the games. Whereas the former edition was issued ahead of the event, primarily as a way of raising awareness and educating Canadian and prospective visitors about the 1976 Montréal Olympics.
The cover of this piece incorporates a rather wonderful illustration comprised of calendar dates, the number 17 sitting at the forefront (the date of the opening of the games) and just visible behind 14 graphic pages is the number 1 (the closing of the games).
