VANCOUVER BIA WEEK – APRIL 6th to 11th
This year we’re excited to celebrate 32 years of BIAs in Vancouver, and local businesses that make our City a place where we love to live, work, and play!
We are inspired by the strength and resilience of merchants and the shop local support over the past year. The collaboration between business, community and government sectors, has been invaluable to help businesses and business areas adapt and come out stronger.

ABOUT BIAs
Did you know there’s 22 BIAs in Vancouver alone, with over 60 all over BC? The first BIAs started in 1989 which were Gastown, Mount Pleasant and Downtown Vancouver.
Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) are specially funded business districts managed by non-profit groups of property owners and business tenants whose goal is to promote and improve their business district. A BIA can make things better by enhancing and promoting the area in result making the area safer, beautiful, vibrant, and more connected.
