  • A letter from Pierre Trudeau (our Prime Minister from April 20th, 1968 to June 3rd, 1979 and from March 3rd, 1980 to June 30th, 1984), who also officially sealed the capsule.
  • Letters from each of the Provincial Premiers congratulating the Tower.
  • Letters about the Tower from various school children.
  • Copies of the three daily newspapers (Toronto Star, Toronto Sun and the Globe and Mail).
  • Canadian coins and bills of various denominations.
  • "To The Top", the video about the construction of theTower.
  • And don't worry - the Capsule is safely tucked away inside the walls of the Tower on the Look Out level.
