List of tallest buildings and structures in Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the tallest structures in Canada, measured from base to the tallest point. (Either roof top or antenna or spire.)
This List includes buildings, towers, power generating stations, chimneys/smokestacks, and oil platforms.
There is a separate list for guyed masts since their heights are not fully verifiable and may in fact be off by several meters. i.e. - several are measured to the height of the tallest transmitter on the mast, but this is not necessarily the tallest point of the tower.
There is also a separate list for the tallest structures to be demolished in Canada.
