Business Directory
Meet Canada's first Business Improvement Area
When you visit Bloor West Village, you’ll immediately notice our vibrant main street. In the 1970s, we set up Toronto’s first ever BIA to help draw visitors to the neighbourhood and inspire residents to shop, eat, and play local. Over the last fifty years, we’ve helped build a dynamic, thriving local business community. As the first BIA in history, we’ve become the inspiration for over 85 similar organizations across Toronto.
From maintaining our beautiful sidewalks to hosting some of Toronto’s most popular events, we’re dedicated to supporting over 400 local businesses.
