Do you mean than you need to contact an engineering firm?  I think you said you live near Calgary, so maybe these people can help:

If you have the interest in designing your own tower foundation, you would have to learn how to do this engineering.  Your own safety is involved.
No one believes the theory except the one who developed it. Everyone believes the experiment except the one who ran it.

  "  " to what SparWeb said
 however if you have the engineering data of the tower itself  it will help you when you contact them or someone else
 Additionally you will need to provide distance from existing buildings or structures.
  You may find that your lattice tower is not designed to handle the wind loading of a wind generator. and may need to guy it
