Ontario BIA Association

The Ontario Business Improvement Area Association (OBIAA) is the network that represents unique and vibrant BIAs across Ontario. The Association supports and advocates on behalf of its members through the building and nurturing of strong relationships and partnerships. The OBIAA represents, supports, and encourages BIAs through membership to increase their effectiveness and their contribution to the economic, cultural, and social well-being of communities across the province. It is a leader in the development and sharing of information, tools, resources and best practices, and is the ONE voice on common issues. Our membership consists of BIAs of all sizes, some with memberships of less than 100 members to those with over 500 members, and BIAs with budgets of less than $20K to those with budgets of over $1M. The OBIAA undertakes research, runs events, and builds awareness on matters affecting small business and the ongoing vitality of our main streets.
