Edge Walk CN Tower Toronto, Canada

12/3/2019

​I am always ready for adventure. I did it years ago with a friend. Than my husband and I wanted to do it together. Not planning to do it again. But after that, things changed when my brother came from the Netherlands. I could NOT let him do it alone. This is so cool to do this with your big brother. So there I went again.
It is an experience, the world’s highest hands free external walk on a building. Edge Walk is CN Tower’s most thrilling attraction in its history.
It is the world’s highest full circle hands-free walk on a 1.5 m (5 ft) wide ledge encircling the top of the Tower’s main pod, 356m/1,168ft (116 storeys) above the ground. The Edge Walk Experience includes a keepsake video, printed photos, certificate of achievement and a ticket to re-enter the CN Tower.
The first pictures were taken by my husband through the glass, because only the people that go up can be in that room. You get a breath test. Not a drop of alcohol can be in you. And the metal detector comes out
Hair has to be tied up and shoes can’t fall off. Glasses have to be tied with a string. Big earrings have to come out. Then you get instructions, and suit and harness goes on. And up we go.
We walk in groups of six, (my brother and I were lucky as there was only us that wanted to go up at that time) while attached to an overhead safety rail via a trolley and harness system. Trained Edge Walk guides encourage participants to push their personal limits, allowing them to lean back over Toronto with nothing but air and breathtaking views of Lake Ontario beneath them.
The guide tells you all about Toronto. You don’t want to do what he says, no problem you do not have to do it.
It is the most amazing way to see Toronto!!
The pictures from the walk are taken by the guide, as we are not allowed camera’s out on the Edge Walk.

    This is who I am,

    I am Karin Miedema. I was born in the Netherlands. I was a midwife assistant and then stayed in the family for ten days after the baby is born. I am a specialized  nurse for the mother and new born babies. I teach them how to look after the new born, Make sure mom heals fine and baby is ok. I also look after other children in the family and some housework. ‘Kraamverzorgster” this is called and for as far as I know only the Netherlands has this kind of care. I looked after children from when I was very young. 

    I  Emigrated to Canada in 1981 and married a Canadian. I have 2 sons and 2 daughters and 2 beautiful granddaughters. They love to be in my studio and be my model and use the props I have.

    I have had a cat and dog, but they both passed. You can see I love animals.

    I always had a strong interest in pictures and photography all my life.

    I started with photography about 10 years ago. First nature (that I still do) and for the last 8 years I do photo shoots. I have a studio here at home, lots of props I can use if needed, but will also go on location.

    I am a family photographer and love to work with children.

    But I also do pets and events.

    Have a look at my pictures.  If you have any questions, please email me at miedema.kg@rogers.com

    For now enjoy the pictures and I hope to see you in the near future for a photo shoot.

    Karin
