At 552 m the C.N. tower in Toronto is the world's largest free-standing structure. Its purpose is to provide a new link in nationwide communications. This film takes us step by step through the construction of the tower, from the soil tests and the enormous excavations to the dramatic "topping-off" with the communications mast by helicopter.
