TAP into TO!
   

Would you like to be a Toronto greeter?
One of the things that makes Toronto such a great place to live and visit is the people.

As a greeter, you'll have the opportunity to make someone's visit to Toronto very special and unique.

We're looking for outgoing, reliable Torontonians who are passionate about our city and represent a variety of backgrounds. TAP into TO! is similar to programs set up in Chicago and New York in the U.S., Adelaide and Melbourne in Australia and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

We're looking to build a great team of energetic, knowledgeable volunteer Torontonians, who are ready, willing and able to show off their favourite parts of TO.
