Talk:List of tallest structures in Canada

This page could use some revision

[edit]

I took out the following structures:

  1. Sapphire Tower, Toronto 337.5m (2008?)
  2. Trump International Hotel & Tower, Toronto 325m (2006)
  3. Rainbow Tower Hotel, Niagara Falls 228.9m (2008)

because:

1) This is a list of existing structures, not ones that are/might/should be built.

2) Some of these haven't even gotten aproval yet (Saphire Tower, and possibly Trump International).

3) Even if they had been allowed, they aren't neer completion and obviously wouldn't be this tall yet. (but I did leave some others that haven't yet been finished because i'm not sure weither or not they've actualy been started/finished. They could be as tall as stated, just not finished etc...)

could someone please check the height of the first canadian place becuase it says it is much higher in the list of structures than it does in the actual article about the building.

It might have to do with a mast of some sort -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:31, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is not usual to measure the height of office buildings to the top of the antennae. Official databases such as Emporis measure to the top of the structure as this is a much less variable and more realistic indication of building height. Ground to top of structure is what all official data is presented in. I recommend changing this article accordingly, or adding another dataset to go along with the existing. -Tyson2k

This article is on the tallest structures, not buildings. Therefore antennae count. -- Earl Andrew - talk 3 July 2005 08:26 (UTC)
In that case, it would probably be best if someone were to go through and adjust the rankings to reflect that.--Tellybelly 13:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move

[edit]

Shouldn't this article be at List of tallest Canadian structures? Zhatt 02:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC) I'm not sure about this but the harbour centre in Vancouver seems to be missplaced from what I have read on its wiki article. There it claims to be the third tallest in Vancouver.[reply]


Addition of CJSD Tower

[edit]

According to this source, which claims to cite the FCC (which keeps a database of towers in the US, and possibly in Canada) but does not link to a source, claims that this tower is 308m tall. This source also makes that claim, for CJSD FM under Thunder Bay.

It is one of two towers located on Mount Baldy in the township of Shuniah, approximately 3 kilometres northeast of the northeast corner of Thunder Bay's city limit (Yahoo Map image of the two towers).

Of the two towers, one is taller than the other. (The red and white one is the shorter tower.) I have heard the numbers 308m and 366m for these towers, but I do not know if 366m is factual, and I do not know what tower CJSD-FM broadcasts from. These towers are also used by Thunder Bay Television and CKPR-FM.

This is an image of the towers.

CBC Tower

[edit]

According to [1], CBC Tower was rebuilt. How tall is the rebuilt CBC Tower?

Measurements

[edit]

Why is this in Imperial when the country the article is about measures in Metric? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.22.172 (talk) 23:36, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possible missing structure (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception)

[edit]

Not entirely sure about the timeline on this, but the 230 ft. spire of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Saint John was completed in 1871, which (according to this list) would make it the tallest structure from 1871 to 1874.
