Canada Life Building by Lucy Izon

Toronto, Ontario - In the early 30's when it opened, it was the tallest building in the city, with a wonderful view of the lake from its tower. In the early 50's the tower became the city's barometer of cool, when lights were added to indicated the weather forcast. Today the lights are updated four times a day using Enviroment Canada forcasts. Here's how to read them: Tower Lights: Running Up = warmer Running Down = cooler Steady = no change Beacon light: Green = clear weather Red = clowdy weather Flashing Red = rain Flashing White = snow Check out this cool panoramic tour of the building.
