I thought it was for Christmas too...I could have sworn that I'd seen those same red and green colours on other days as well.
That being said (and hopefully not too off-topic), is there any way to tell what the CN tower is honouring on any particular occasion? The official website (http://www.cntowerlights.com/cn-tower-lighting-policy-schedule/) only lists one special occasion: St Patrick's Day. I know for a fact that there have been numerous other times when I've seen non-standard lighting patterns (I can see the tower out of my living room window so I see the lights basically every night).
The colours on those two days were specifically for the Aga Khan, hence they reverted on subsequent days - though it is possible that they've used the same colours on other occassions. When the Aga Khan was in Calgary on November 24th, the flame atop the Calgary Tower was also lit in his honor - parallel to the CN Tower lights the two days prior.
