STANLEY VISITS THE CALGARY TOWER

Part one
The Calgary Tower was officially opened on June 30th, 1968 in downtown Calgary. The Calgary Tower was built in 1967 to celebrate Calgary's 100th birthday. Since 1968, the Calgary Tower has been the city's most famous land mark. Even today, the Calgary Tower is still the fourth tallest structure in Calgary. Tourists like coming to the Calgary Tower because they can see all around the city from one spot - 191 metres up! The Calgary Tower was not named the Calgary Tower it was called the Husky Tower because Husky Oil was really great, and was famous.

Part two
Throughout the 1988 Winter Olympic Games, a torch was lit on the tip of the Calgary Tower. This torch burned throughout the entire Olympics. The torch is still lit, but only on special occasions. The torch on top of the tower was turned on recently to celebrate Vancouver's winning of the 2010 Winter Olympics!

Part three
The Calgary Tower cost 3.5 million dollars originally. Since then, it has cost another 2 million dollars to fix up. We think that it would be fun to work in the Calgary Tower. We chose this project because we were interested in the Calgary Tower!

Part four
Mike, Stephen, and Stanley think that the Calgary Tower will be torn down and the city will build a new one even taller to be the tallest building once more.
