The largest building in Western Canada is being built in my home town and I've been to the very top!  I was privileged to be invited to the construction site, so I don't want to overstep my bounds by publishing the circumstances of the invite itself or the name of my host.

Let me say that it was an exhilarating experience to be on the top of the highest structure around (excluding the near by Rocky Mountains of course).  From the ride up to the 53rd floor int the skip (a construction elevator that travels up and down the outside of the building) and climbing the construction stairs the last few floors to get to get to the 58, to that moment when you set foot on the roof and witness the sprawling view. Incredible!
