Sudbury's Eiffel Tower

I recently passed through Sudbury, Ontario. We visited the Big Nickel.

The Big Nickel in Sudbury

On our way out of town I spotted this structure. Was it... the Tiny Eiffel Tower? A tower curiously reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower

Alas no:

Actually, it’s a custom-built antenna tower to communicate with the cement trucks of Wavy Industries by VHF FM radio. Commissioned by philanthropic millionaire Owner Clifford Fielding in the mid 1970s. Designed & built by Toronto’s Trylon Mfg. Ltd.
Still, maybe the greatest thing about the internet is its ability to answer questions like these.
