Meet Canada Lands Company

As the CN Tower’s owner and manager, Canada Lands Company oversees the attraction’s operations and continually finds ways to innovate the CN Tower’s timeless experience.

Canada Lands is a self-financing federal Crown corporation specializing in attractions management and real estate development. For almost 30 years, Canada Lands has successfully managed and operated some of the world's most iconic and innovative attractions: the CN Tower, the Montréal Science Centre, the Old Port of Montréal, and Downsview Park.

Having earned a reputation as a leading attractions manager, Canada Lands has played a central role in furthering the CN Tower’s position as a cherished national symbol for all Canadians. Between the Tower’s stunning architecture and thrilling EdgeWalk activity, visitors are provided with a lasting impression of Toronto. Efforts continue to be made to provide millions of guests with access to unforgettable experiences including the $21-million investment to modernize and enhance the CN Tower’s Terrace Level to offer a new uninterrupted glass floor for year-round indoor enjoyment.

Canada Lands is committed to investing in its attractions through sustainability measures, programming, and accessibility enhancements to offer guests quintessentially Canadian experiences. The Company’s work is guided by its strategic values: social impact, environmental sustainability, and financial resilience.
