During the 1940's and 1950's, he became one of Canadian Pacific's major artistic contributors. In 1940, the poster Sports d'Hiver marked the beginning of a seventeen year working relationship in which Ewart designed twenty-four posters and two serigraphic prints for the Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian Pacific Airlines. These travel posters were displayed throughout the country and abroad as part of a long-lasting and highly effective advertising campaign for the 'World's Greatest Travel System', and one of Canada's iconic corporate institutions. After taking a two-year correspondence course in commercial illustration, Ewart enrolled in the Commercial Illustration Studio of New York City. It was a momentous year, as it opened him to new ways of seeing and thinking, and to a myriad of new possibilities.
