In partnership with the Toronto Star, Toronto Foundation will distribute wearable decals with the slogan “Hello my name is…”and a space to add your own name.  It is a pretty simple way that Torontonians can get involved and show their pride for the city.

Rahul K. Bhardwaj, President & CEO, Toronto Foundation added: “This is a rallying cry to all Torontonians to show the world that we love our city and we love to welcome our visitors. I want everyone wearing the personalized decal that expresses our warmth and passion for this city.” He added: “Success is 250,000 people going home and saying that Toronto is filled with the warmest and most welcoming people they’ve ever met.”

HelloAndWelcome-sticker2The program will begin the first weekend of the Games, the “Hello and Welcome” Ambassadors will be distributing the decals all over the city at key venues July 11th – July 19th. Torontonians can also look for decals in the Toronto Star on July 10th and Metro News on July 14th.
