Canada Lands Company has announced that CN Tower will be closing from Saturday, October 3rd to do “their part to prevent the spread of COVID-19”.
The statement on the website reads, “Effective October 3, the CN Tower will suspend its operations to do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and hopefully help to flatten the curve. The health and safety of our staff and guests is our priority.”
“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we look forward to welcoming guests back to the Tower as soon as public health authorities and Canada Lands Company determine that it is safe to do so.”
Ontario announced tighter COVID-19 restrictions Friday amid mounting criticism that the government was ill-prepared for a second wave of the pandemic, which has seen crippling lines at assessment centres, a ballooning testing backlog, and a surge in new cases.
CN Tower closed for the first time during COVID-19 on March 14th and reopened on July 15th.
