THE CHAMPIONS OF BC's MAIN STREETS
β
Formed in 1991 to assist and promote the BIA movement in British Columbia,
Business Improvement Areas of British Columbia (BIABC) is the provincial
champion of strong, vibrant and successful downtowns, main streets and
commercial districts throughout our province.
Creating partnerships
neighbourhoods grow from.
Your BIABC has forged important, beneficial and lasting partnerships with organizations like Terasen Gas, BC Hydro and Fortis BC, the International Council of Shopping Centres and the International Downtown Association. These relationships enable BIABC members to access tools that will help shape and enhance neighbourhoods, save money and source local BC solutions and perspectives using a global network of urban developers and contacts.
Shop local to fuel economic growth within your community. Every purchase you make at a local business contributes to building a stronger, more vibrant neighbourhood!
