Originally named the Husky Tower, the Calgary Tower was constructed as a joint venture between Marathon Realty and Husky Oil. The Tower was built to honour Canada’s centennial and was also intended to promote the downtown core as a part of a Calgary urban renewal program.
Construction of the Tower commenced on February 19, 1967 and was completed in June 1968 at a total cost of $3.5 million dollars. The Tower officially opened to the public on June 30, 1968.
Located 191 metres above the downtown core, the Calgary Tower offers the best view in the city and is a must-see on any visitor's itinerary.
Thanks for reading.

I would consider myself brave enough just by getting to the top, but there's no way i'm getting on top of that glass. Props to the photographer.

if you notice the images, in some way looks like you are in the inception movie. cause the lower part of the building has the same shape as the upper part. So you'll wonder which is the real top.
the glass floor I guess must be thick enough to shoulder the weight. it's not just an architectural feat but engineering one as well.
Question? Did they required you to change into some special shoes.
Cheers and nice photo by the way!
