Yonge North York Event Planning For Office Workers

The goal of the "Event Planning for the Office Building" project is to enhance workplace engagement and culture through a series of strategically planned events throughout the year. Last year, we saw success with a holiday entertainment pop-up, which we would like to expand with new and creative ideas. Our Business Improvement Area includes a number of office towers which face challenges due to high vacancy rates. By working together with Property Managers, we aim to contribute to an attractive office environment for workers by creating a series of event pop ups and activations. The pop-ups are also intended as an opportunity to raise awareness of the offerings of the commercial area as well as collect worker emails for future marketing.
