Yonge-Dundas Square (often simply Dundas Square) is a public square in Toronto, Canada, at the intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas Street, one of the busiest intersections in Toronto. Constructed as a downtown 'revitalization' project, the square was created from the demolition of a block of commercial buildings and opened as a public square to the public in November 2002. A "grand opening" concert was held on May 30, 2003. The square is used for music concerts, film screenings and other public events. The square has been controversial for its design, its private board of management of a publicly-owned site and the overwhelming amount of commercial signage on the square.
