Applicants will receive a written response stating whether or not it has been approved.
Due to the high volume of applications, all requests cannot be accommodated.
The CN Tower wishes to stress that if an application is declined, this is not a reflection of the merits or importance of any requests.
If you plan to acknowledge the lighting in communications materials, please provide samples for review and approval at least 14 days prior to the lighting. Failure to do so may result in our inability to grant the request. We suggest creating a standard line or statement about the lighting that can be included in materials, e.g., “On (insert date) CN Tower lights (insert colour) for XYZ Awareness Day.”
If your request is confirmed, all efforts will be made to grant the lighting on the date requested. However, CN Tower management reserves the right to make adjustments to the schedule as necessary, and this may result in modifying the timing of your lighting or rescheduling the date.
