Harris Water Treatment Plant to the Netflix office. A sold-out 50th anniversary tour offers guided access to the CN Tower’s inner workings, including its hollow hexagonal core and 300-metre interior.

Twenty-eight new sites are included, such as Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema, the Toronto Star office, and the Waterworks Food Hall, along with the Anishnawbe Health Toronto building, the GTA’s first Indigenous healthcare centre.
