  • CN Tower.  "Defining the Toronto skyline, the CN Tower is Canada's most recognizable and celebrated icon. At a height of 553.33m (1,815 ft., 5 inches), it is the World's Tallest Building, an important telecommunications hub, and the centre of tourism in Toronto.

    Each year, approximately 2 million people visit the CN Tower to take in the breath-taking view and enjoy all the attractions it has to offer. The CN Tower was built in 1976 by Canadian National (CN) who wanted to demonstrate the strength of Canadian industry by building a tower taller than any other in the world. In 1995, the CN Tower became a public company and ownership of the Tower was transferred to Canada Lands (CLC) Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development. Canada Lands have managed and operated the CN Tower to this day, except for the period 1997-January 2004 when they leased the management of the CN Tower to TrizecHahn Corporation, one of North America's largest real estate companies. During that time, the landmark underwent a $26 million entertainment expansion and revitalization in 1998."  Comment:  Going to the top of the CN Tower is an exciting and breathtaking experience.  Not to be missed if you are only going to visit Toronto once.  The glass floor on the visitor deck will test your fear of heights.
