When i was a little kid, my dad use to take me down to the construction sight to watch them build the CN Tower, i'll never forget that, RIP DAD.

I remember when i was a kid, me and my father watched this while eating ice cream. He always promised we would go there together some day. Sadly he passed away a few years ago and we never went. This has been my favorite documentary ever since, RIP Dad.

My dad would take me down at different times as an eight/ nine year old to show me the towers progress and then take me to McDonalds…. Miss those days and especially my dad who died in 77 in a construction accident…. Go figure. R.I.P.

Without CN Tower, Toronto wouldn’t be the same.

My good buddies grandfather died building this thing. There is a plaque for him at the tower.

Funkiest construction documentary I've seen.

Remember watching this documentary on the old floor model TV set on CBC ( I think ) when I was a kid in the late 70’s! Fantastic memories! 🙂🙂

Film Arcyciekawy dziękuję bardzo,jestem wdzięczna za obejrzenie.

I think those men of that time won't repeat again, ppl with a different kind of dignity and commitment, bigger hearts and different kind of kindness, strong ability

I watched last part of the antenna structure being installed, it took them a while.

At the beginning I was visiting the observation room I think that was in 1977 I'm not sur but I remember the restorant was not finish yet and not open.

20:09...thats my dad.

Matthew Weber Loves The CN Tower

Canada had modern building rarlier than majority of country backthen. -Toronto got the tallest tower ever build by human's being -Montreal got the tallest curved building ever in the world

Low-Fi 16mm optical sound.

I believe that the magnificent CN Tower was the worlds tallest free standing structure until being surpassed by the babulous Burj Khalifa, which I have had the pleasure of visiting.

TikTok Tourist 2020's: "I climbed the stairs at the CN Tower! Like, Subscribe, and give me money!" Construction workers 1970's: "Thank god it's Saturday, I don't have to climbed the CN Tower for $1.50/hr."

i remember an epilogue with a different music, that is missing here

Notice no condos now the bottom is hidden

Does anyone know if this music was made specifically for this film or is it library music?

CN Tower

Back when construction was free range.

It would be cool if the tower was double its size

Wonder if those kids names are still on the top part of the CN Tower?

Were these guys even tethered??? I didn’t see any tether lines??

2:43 2:45 5:33 6:39

11:41

Is that Leonard Nimoy's voice?

Sounds like a doomsday documentary! I was in grade 7 when it was built ❤️🇨🇦🌎

4:46

15:46 what the heck

Toronto needs to step up their game and regain the record either by building a new tower and or adding on to the CN tower to make it larger so that it can be made taller. Might as well shoot for over a kilometer.

Drake doesnt deserve to claim toronto The hard working and dedicated workers that worked countless days and hours under all odds deserve to claim the city

where did you find this?

I was born in 1972. I don't remember a time without this wonderful marvel.

17:24

My big brother Patrick worked on the CN Tower crane,he sadly passed away in Australia in 95,R.I.P ma big brother Pat.

Glad to be Canadian!!

My eyes watered when they hoisted the flag, such a proud moment for Canadians!!!

The music is groovy yet dramatic.

Brilliant. TV was full of shows like this when I was growing up. It was excellent. Shot on film, of course.

I actually just came from the CN Tower today, I’ve been many times, but for some reason this visit I was so fascinated with the structure itself. So thank you to the brave and strong men and women who built one of our country’s beautiful structures and symbols! ❤️🇨🇦

I remember reading about the construction in the Detroit newspapers. Once it opened, my Dad took me there about a month after the opening. What great memories....

lol look at how open and empty the area is around the CN Tower. Now it's all condos, condos, condos. High tower building upon buildings around the area.

I did the Edge Walk at the CN Tower last year! Toronto's a great city with some fine women too.

I was working the box office for the Toronto Blues Festival on the island when they were working on the restaurant area . A couple of gals from Chicago were asking me about it and I told them it was going to be a revolving MacDonalds restaurant . They believed me .

Dang look at the highway, it moves!!! XD

Wonderful film full of memories for me. I grew up in Toronto and saw all of this happening. A guy I worked with at the time won a new Honda Civic for correctly guessing the time of the final concrete pour...great guess but, terrible car back then!

Love the 70’s documentary music....and look how small the city was back then.... it doesn’t even look like the same city anymore, thank God!

Love the 70s vibe to it

This is also great for digitally enhanced and mastered for DVD and high definition for Blu-Ray.

proud to be Canadian !!!

nostalgia OVERLOAD!!!

Great vid. Thank you!

I found this CN Tower Documentary. Great one to have.

The tower was completed when I was 17 and our family went up to the observation deck. When i was 20, I worked at Sparkles Disco, a short-lived club at the top. I went for dinner at the 360 in 1986 and have not been up since. Like City Hall, it is a Toronto icon.

My grandfather worked on the observation deck. RIP

Who remembers downtown Toronto having that distinct smell in the 80's?

I remember the time when the Royal York Hotel is the tallest in Toronto.

26:00 Balls of steel

This is amazing. 💯

Back when the tower was owned by Canadian National

Interesting. Also how decus were back in the day. I was in Toronto a few weeks ago on a layover and made a dash downtown and up the CN tower. Great view. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to see more.

Focus on the background and see how much the city has grown

I remember when the cn tower restaurant first open their was a 2 year wait because too many people orders

This was a time when are country stood up and made things the world said couldn’t be done

I've never been to Toronto but this was a cool video!

Very cool. That music scrams mid 70s! Still not a building though.

21:30 no traffic!

Toronto was great back in the 50s. Today? Non canadian.

14:36, my balls just retracted!

My uncle jimmy worked on the very top of that marvellous building.

It was all about Tour of the Universe

Brave men,,would not catch me up there!Grooooovy music daddy,o.

I need to know the name of the song of the song at 13:51 and 17:16! I love it!

People forget that it was the tallest tower while 30years

Is there a way I can contact the person at Blink MM who digitized the original footage?

I would love to check out this spectacular city! I'll even do the edgewalk and check out the resturant in the tower as well. Do they take american currency in toronto?

I came to the CN tower before when it was 2015 and now it is 2017

The CN Tower is taller than the Eiffel Tower!

0:51 Yes rock is elastic 😂

Wowww that’s crazy

This must be library music. Anyone know what it is?

A little cut off at the end of this film.

i wonder if they are still living today.

Toronto's skyline is now a complete shitshow. The city was poorly pre planned where its traffic is some of the country's worst! They keep building more and more highways but it hasn't solved a thing.

If only it could become a self deploying pop up store, because if you think about it in terms of gap analysis, it already is within world history.Where technolgy can demolition and be created at the same time,by being totally random in a multi cultural city.

check out C.N. TOWER by BRYAN HUNT Video by Jake Bunny Music on youtube pictures of the day today change BRYAN worked on the tower from 1973.

Did you record the sound off a tiny 2-inch speakered transistor old-style TV with a cell phone mic? - THUMBS DOWN - I didn't expect high-quality studio stereo sound, but by any standard - THIS SUCKS

I wish they would put another flag up

Pazuzu

American becomes jealous of us when we pass the top of the World Trade Center

All that .. for a view of WHAT ?? The flat featureless nothin that is Toronto ...... ghaakkk

The music absolutely sucks.
