List of tallest buildings in Canada facts for kids
Canada is home to many impressive skyscrapers! These tall buildings are found in cities across the country, with most of them located in Toronto. As of July 2025, there are 157 buildings in Canada that are 150 meters (about 492 feet) or taller, either already built or still being constructed.
Most of these super tall buildings are in the Greater Toronto area, with 84 in Toronto itself. Mississauga has 3. Metro Vancouver has 24 tall buildings, including 13 in Burnaby and 8 in Vancouver. Other cities with many tall buildings include Calgary (19), Montreal (11), and Edmonton (2). Niagara Falls also has one very tall building.
Some of Canada's biggest cities have rules about how tall buildings can be. For example, in Montreal, buildings cannot be taller than 200 meters (about 656 feet) or higher than Mount Royal. In Vancouver, there are "view corridors" that stop buildings from blocking important views of the city. In Calgary, buildings must not cast shadows on the Bow River during certain hours to make sure the river stays sunny in summer.
It's important to know that this list only includes buildings. Famous structures like the CN Tower in Toronto are not on this list because they are considered "towers," not buildings. Buildings have floors and spaces for people to live or work, while towers are usually built for things like observation or broadcasting.
