- The CN Tower will light up black and white, the colours of WWF's iconic panda logo -

The CN Tower will glow black and white at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 16 in recognition of World Panda Day and the upcoming WWF CN Tower Climb for Nature presented by Aviso, taking place inside the landmark on April 5 and 6."The beloved giant panda is not only a symbol for World Wildlife Fund, it is also one of the most powerful examples of conservation success on the planet. We're illuminating the CN Tower in black and white to shine a light on the plight of species at risk and to let people know that they can be part of the solution," Scott Sandison, former Olympian and Vice-President of Community and Legacy Giving at WWF-Canada, said.

According to WWF's Living Planet Report (LPR) 2024, there has been a 73 per cent decline in the average size of monitored wildlife populations globally in just 50 years. Giant pandas, however, have seen their population increase by approximately 50 per cent since the 1980s.

"Think of this like our version of the bat signal — a call to help protect and restore habitats for wildlife by climbing 1,776 steps of the CN Tower," he added. "And there's no better time to answer the call than on World Panda Day."
