Walking on the edge of the CN Tower

August 1, 2011

Although many Canadians are enjoying the day off today as they round out their long weekends, today also marks another special day. This August 1 marks the opening of the CN Tower’s much-anticipated EdgeWalk in Toronto. While some news reporters have already tried their hand at the extreme attraction, it’s now open to the general public.

For $175, EdgeWalkers get to take a 20 to 30-minute outdoor group walk around the world’s highest full circle hands-free walk, with the CN Tower measuring in at 356m/1168ft (116 stories) above the ground. Although the attraction may not be for the faint of heart, thrill seekers can take relief in the overhead safety harness that will secure them during their walk on the edge.
