(CNW)  Visitors to downtown Toronto are getting a warm
welcome thanks to the efforts of the business community.
The public's experience of the Downtown Yonge area is being
enhanced by mobile ambassadors, free walking tours, and free
special events at Yonge-Dundas Square, across from the Eaton's
Centre.
These customer service efforts are part of a strategy that
is making the Downtown Yonge area safer, cleaner, and more
inviting.
Ken Gruber, chair of the Downtown Yonge BIA marketing committee says, "Downtown Yonge is really making an impact this summer. We've further enhanced our mobile ambassador program; we've patrolled the streets for litter, graffiti and crime; and we're fixing-up our properties to improve the visitor experience. Now we're welcoming the world this summer."
Free one-hour walking tours tours are offered daily from Monday
to Sunday at 11:30 am and 3:30 pm. Tours depart from
Yonge-Dundas Square at the Discovery Team  information
kiosk.
Free summer events include City Cinema Tuesdays at 8:30 pm,  jazz lunchtime concerts Wednesdays at 12:30 pm; and Contemporary World Music every Friday at 6 pm.
