Today we started a small group, guided tour of Toronto bright an early. We felt like we probably should have done this tour first, but we'd enjoyed everything so far so no regrets. The tour began at the iconic CN Tower. Opened in 1975 the tower is 1,815.3 ft tall and remains the tallest free standing structure in North America. It was built because all the new skyscrapers popping up in the downtown area were blocking radio and TV signals. This is no longer such an issue but it's still used as a communications tower, alongside being a very popular tourist attraction.
