What is a Business Improvement Area?
A Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a defined geographic area where business and property owners work collectively to improve the area's economic vitality and commercial viability. In BC, BIAs are non-profit societies that use a special levy on commercial property within the district to finance projects and services of benefit to the district. There are over 60 BIAs in BC with two on the North Shore – Lower Lonsdale BIA and Ambleside Dundarave BIA. For more information on BIAs visit bia.bc.ca.
Are there any other BIA’s on the North Shore?
Yes….the North Shore has two excellent examples of highly successful BIA’s Ambleside & Dundarave BIA, and Lower Lonsdale BIA
