CN Tower_Teaser 3 mins

from Historical Projects · host David Jenkins

The CN Tower didn’t just change Toronto’s skyline — it changed Canada’s identity. In this episode, David Jenkins and guest Jean‑Philippe (JP) Hudon explore how a national communications problem led to one of the most ambitious engineering projects of the 20th century. From a continuous concrete pour with 1,500 workers to a helicopter lifting the final antenna pieces into place, this story reveals the vision, risk, coordination and courage behind a structure that stood as the world’s tallest for 32 years. A landmark of innovation, ambition and national pride — and a masterclass in modern project leadership.
