Ryan Tower
Ryan Tower was a 228.9-metre (751 ft) tall guyed mast on the Clifford Slope of Camp Fortune in Chelsea, Quebec, Canada.
History
Sponsored by CFRA-FM owner Frank Ryan, the tower was erected at the foot of the Carp Ridge near the town of Hazeldean, Ontario (present-day Kanata), by helicopter in 1961. Its top was 580 metres (1,900 ft) above sea level, making it the highest point in the Ottawa/Gatineau area and was an easy-to-spot landmark. The tower would later be disassembled and relocated to the Camp Fortune site for improved coverage.
The old tower (painted red and white to comply with Transport Canada and Department of Communications Regulations Concerning Broadcast Towers) was taken down on November 4, 2012 and the current gray tower visible at the Camp Fortune site is actually the nearby replacement tower.
It stood as the 15th tallest guyed structure in Canada, and provided a large portion of the Ottawa Valley's broadcast television and radio signals.

"White Lights"
Bitter 'til the bitter end
Have we been diving down the shallow end of life? (Life)
Heaven sent oblivion
When it's all said and done we're all lost in time (Why try?)
Searching for the family that you never ever had
Was it ever so bad? (Oh no)
Dreaming of a better me
Without you all I can do is just wish and wait for the
Tide to rise and take you away
As you wander off you parade through the rain
The melody I wrote the glass will be stained
And by morning light you are the one to illuminate me
Nothing weighs me down
Nothing in the air that I have found
The snow is so serene
Warmth of the tidings that you bring
You've never felt so cold
You long for a hand to hold so
Close your eyes and drive yourself
Beyond these white lights
Now I'm bitter in the falling rain
As the pain pain pain of our memories reflect upon the ground
Our better days are silhouettes in the rear view mirror
Heaven sent oblivion my heart will burn burn burn
And if I cry out loud would you hear me?
Even though the seasons change
You're left here wishing waiting for the
Tide to rise and take me away
As I wander off nothing left to say but replay
The melody I wrote the glass will be stained
And by candlelight I am the one to illuminate you
Nothing weighs me down
Nothing in the air that I have found
The snow is so serene
Warmth of the tidings that you bring
You've never felt so cold
You long for a hand to hold so
Close your eyes and drive yourself
Beyond these white lights [x3]
For every day you've lost I would
Would replace
And every soul you've touched I would
Would embrace
But until then...
Nothing weighs me down
Nothing in the air that I have found
The snow is so serene
Warmth of the tidings that you bring
You've never felt so cold
You long for a hand to hold so
Close your eyes and drive yourself
