In terms of what it "does" for Toronto, I'm guessing your meaning is that, beyond its function as a symbol, communications tower or observation deck, the CN Tower acts as a psychological anchor for Torontonians, in that wherever you are in the city you can instantly orient yourself by finding the tower, kind of like the North Star. There's something reassuring about its - for lack of a better word - omnipresence.
That's not to say that Calgary Tower isn't equally important to Calgarians for a different set of reasons, but it's worth noting when comparing the respective roles of the two towers.
