As a financial advisor, Jay C. Dougall works for Waddell & Reed in North
Carolina. Also an experienced traveler, he has been to Mexico and
Canada numerous times. As the largest country in North America,
Canada has breathtaking scenery, bustling cities, and iconic landmarks.
Jay C. Dougall often visited Canada’s most populous city, Toronto,
Ontario, during his time with the Chicago Stock Exchange. One of the
most notable landmarks in Canada is the CN Tower in Toronto.
From the ground to the top of its communications antenna, the CN
Tower is a staggering 533.33 meters tall (1,815’ 5”), making it the tallest
tower in the Western Hemisphere. It was designed as a
telecommunications hub and is recognized as one of the “Seven
Wonders of the Modern World” by the American Society of Civil
Engineers. The tower was opened to the public on June 26, 1976, after
40 months of construction. It was designed as a center of
communications for the growing city and currently serves over 16
Canadian television and radio stations.

The tower also serves as a major tourist destination with its
world-renowned restaurants, shopping, and attractions. One of
Toronto’s finest restaurants is located at the top of the tower. The
award-winning 360 Restaurant allows visitors to witness stunning
views during their gourmet dining experience as the restaurant
revolves 360 degrees. Visitors can also experience views from
the Glass Floor, a lookout deck constructed 342 meters above the
ground.
In 2011, the EdgeWalk attraction was opened. The first of its kind,
EdgeWalk tethers adventure seekers to an overhead safety rail
so that they can walk, hands free, on a 1.5-meter ledge 116
stories in the air. It is a thrilling, unforgettable experience that
pushes visitors to their limits and allows them to experience
Toronto in a very unique way.
