The Calgary Tower is a 626 ft free standing observation tower in Downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Originally called the Husky Tower, it was conceived as part of an urban renewal plan in celebration of Canada's centennial in 1967. The structure was designed by A. Dale and Associates, and was designed to withstand earthquakes and winds of up to 100 miles per hour.
It opened to the public on June 30, 1968 as the tallest structure in Calgary, and the tallest in Canada outside Toronto. It was renamed the Calgary Tower in 1971. Please do not use this image in any media without my permission. © All rights reserved.
