TORONTO – The iconic symbol of Toronto’s skyline is celebrating 50 years in 2026 and recently politicians, dignitaries and the like gathered at the 553.33-metre-high CN Tower to highlight some new renovations.
Canada Lands Company unveiled its $21-million renovation to the CN Tower’s Lower Observation Level to kick off the attraction’s anniversary.
The revamped level features Artmosphere, which are interactive video walls that create opportunities to showcase immersive and interactive art with animated visual representations of original works by a collective of Canadian artists, explains a release.
There’s also year-round indoor viewing capacity and a new glass floor.
“Providing a unique vantage point at 113 storeys above Toronto, the addition of OverView invites guests with an opportunity to step out and lean out for views of the city over the Tower’s Radome,” a release notes.
These new upgrades are in addition to the Main Observation Level renovation that occurred in 2018 and introduced floor-to-ceiling glass window walls.
Throughout 2026, the CN Tower will feature commemorative moments to honour its milestone year including:
- Special lighting at midnight on the Radome to honour 50 years of pride, innovation and memories.
A digital interactive timeline of the tower’s history accessible at the attraction and at cntower.ca/50. - Rotating photo galleries on the Main Observation Level, special menus and commemorative merchandise.
