CN Tower Receives 2010 Guinness World Record

Celebrating the launch of the 2010 Book of Guinness World Records in which the CN Tower appears, at 1pm on September 21, 2009 Canadian Record-Keeper Carey Low presented CN Tower’s Chief Operating Officer Jack Robinson with another impressive Guinness World Records certificate for World’s Tallest Tower.
For over 34 years the CN Tower is proud to have held the distinction as the World’s Tallest and according to the 2010 Book of Guinness World Records it remains the World’s Tallest Tower*.
The CN Tower also holds a proud legacy as a Wonder of the Modern World, one of Canada’s most famous landmarks and attractions, and a place to enjoy breathtaking views, incredible dining and events.
And we continue to work hard to create an exceptional experience for our guests.
Get your copy of the Guinness Book of World Records 2010 edition at the CN Tower or in major bookstores beginning September 2009.
* World’s Tallest Tower is defined by both GWR and the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as “a building in which less than 50% of the construction is usable floor space”.

The signature icon of Toronto’s skyline.
A symbol of Canada.
One of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Toronto’s CN Tower has many titles to boast, but one of the most impressive is its Guinness World Record for World’s Tallest Tower. With the recent building of the Burj Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, many believed that the CN Tower would lose its title.
“I can confirm that the Toronto icon will retain its record, as a tower is defined by Guinness World Records and the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat as a building in which less than 50% of the construction is usable floor space”
