Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) offer an array of unique stores, restaurants and coffee shops, adding character to the communities where they operate. Over the years, BIAs (also known as Business Revitalization Zones or BRZs) have helped create some of our city's most loved neighbourhoods while promoting safety and crime prevention.
