What is a BIZ?
Imagine a place where businesses thrive. A place where business owners can create their own community of events and attractions. A place where people want to visit, shop, and spend time. A Business Improvement Zone (BIZ) can make such things a reality.
A Business Improvement Zone is an association of business people who join together to promote their mutual interests. The concept of joining together provides the local business district with a voice on how to attract clients and customers to their place of business, to undertake improvements and cooperatively market their businesses.

Community Events
Among the BIZ’s goals is to create a place where neighbourhoods thrive. Thriving communities need their residents to feel that they belong, share a sense of purpose, show community pride and concern and respect for their neighbors. Our family-friendly “always free” community events are one way we can help strengthen and build a stronger community, with a prosperous business district.
