Part of a Toronto Star photograph by Randy Risling<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. For our June meeting we had the pleasure of hosting Robert C Lansdale’s iconic history of the building of the CN Tower in this its 40th anniversary year. It was a two hour power-point show capped off with an anniversary cake. People who built the tower and members of the PHSC joined in the celebration.<\/p>\n

Robert’s father, a profession photographer and Ryerson graduate, is a long time member of the PHSC, editing our journal Photographic Canadiana<\/em> for almost half its life, and taking official photographs of our events and speakers.<\/p>\n

Robert’s talk is dedicated to the men who built the CN Tower. It is posted here\u00a0at\u00a0http:\/\/www.pastandfuturehistory.com<\/strong>\/default.php<\/a> with thumbnails of each slide, and here<\/a> on Flickr.<\/p>\n

Robert junior’s efforts can be read and seen here in the Toronto Star<\/a>, by columnist Shawn Micallef, a tribute to Graham Bezant in the Toronto Guardian<\/a>, \u00a0an article by Nick Westall in the Toronto Sun<\/a>, plus Mike Filey’s Toronto Sun\u00a0column<\/a> (Mike was at the PHSC presentation).<\/p>\n

Googling “CN Tower 40th Lansdale<\/a>” will bring up a wealth of articles and photographs.\u00a0Have a look and see why the CN Tower is truly exceptional, and a massive engineering feat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
