Are there any other plans for 2026 when the CN tower celebrates its 50th year? It also coincides with the World Cup in Toronto (6 games - lots of international visitors that will surely have the CN Tower on their must-see list of local attractions). Based on last time I was there, the Skypod could use a good clean up maybe replace the glass and redo the interiors but hire a worthy design firm this time and while they are at it redo the exterior pavilion (though not enough time for 2026).
 
Even more proof that the on-going renos to the tower have gone terribly wrong:

Canada Lands Company Unveils a $21-Million CN Tower Lower Observation Level Renovation to Launch Its 50th Anniversary Celebrations​



Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 21, 2026) - Today, Canada Lands Company unveiled its $21-million renovation to the CN Tower's Lower Observation Level to kick off the attraction's 50th anniversary year celebrations. The revamped Lower Observation Level features Artmosphere, state-of-the-art interactive video walls that create opportunities to showcase immersive and interactive art with animated visual representations of original works by a collective of Canadian artists, including Indigenous artists from across the country.

The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, and Minister responsible for Official Languages, on behalf of the Honourable Gregor Robertson, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure and Minister responsible for Pacific Economic Development Canada, and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, joined the unveiling of the CN Tower's modernized space that offers year-round indoor viewing capacity and a new glass floor for an unparallel experience. Providing a unique vantage point at 113 storeys above Toronto, the addition of OverView invites guests with an opportunity to step out and lean out for views of the city over the Tower's Radome.

A symbol of Canadian pride that elevates every occasion, the CN Tower continues to innovate to connect with guests and visitors. Building on the success of the Main Observation Level renovation in 2018 that introduced floor-to-ceiling glass Window Walls, this latest upgrade ensures seamless and inclusive access for all guests.

Throughout the year, the CN Tower will feature engaging activations and commemorative moments to honour its milestone year including:

Special lighting at midnight on the Radome to honour 50 years pride, innovation and unforgettable memories.

A digital interactive timeline of the Tower's history accessible at the attraction and at cntower.ca/50

Rotating photo galleries on the Main Observation Level, special menus and commemorative merchandise

A very special birthday celebration in Canada Lands Square on June, 26, 2026.

So... the 50th anniversary that was mentioned above, June 26, is fast approaching. We'll do a front page story, although I'm not sure in what format quite yet, but if any of you have particular CN Tower memories that you'd like to share — especially from the time when it was being built — please either add them in this thread, or if you think they are special enough for us to include in our coverage on the 26th, then please DM me with them!
