CN Tower Lighting
On September 21, The CN Tower will be lit in rainbow colors to symbolize peace. The lighting will begin at sunset, becoming fully visible approximately 30 minutes later as the sky darkens.
A standard light show will run for 5 minutes at the top of every hour, followed by another light show on the half hour. The night lighting will be visible by webcam on the CN Tower’s website: cntower.ca/live-views.
