The Canada Life Building is a historic office building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The fifteen-floor Beaux Arts building stands at 285 feet (87 m), 321 feet (97.8 m) including its weather beacon.
It is located in the city's
downtown. Work on the new headquarters of the Canada Life Assurance Company
began in 1929 and it opened in 1931.
It was the fourth building to
serve as the headquarters of Canada Life, Canada's oldest, and at the time
largest, insurance company.
