	CN Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CN Tower opened to the public on June 26, 1976, although the official opening date was October 1st.
		CN sold the Tower prior to taking the company public in 1995, when they decided to divest themselves of all operations not directly related to their core freight shipping businesses.
		As the area around the Tower was developed, particularly with the introduction of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and Skydome (known as the Rogers Centre since 2005), the former railway "wasteland" disappeared and the Tower became the centre of a newly developing entertainment area.
