Have you recently purchased a property or opened a business in Downtown Kingston?
Congratulations! You are automatically a Downtown Kingston Business Improvement Area (BIA) member. The information below is designed to help you get started and take advantage of some of the great things that come with being a part of Downtown Kingston BIA.
Did you know there are over 300 BIA's across Ontario, and hundred's more similar organizations across Canada and North America? BIA's are responsible for the overall experience in a designated area of a city or town - usually the downtown core. We take care of things like events, streetscapes, flowers, and marketing the downtown area as a destination. It's not all we do, but we will get into that on another page. In Toronto, there are over 80 BIA's alone because they have so many neighbourhoods downtown.
As a new member the most important to-do item on your list is to contact us by emailing us at hello@downtownkingston.ca or by calling our office at 613-542-8677 so that we can come for a visit and show you all of the awesome perks and get you connected to the Downtown Kingston community. Once that's done, we can move forward with some of the fun stuff!
There are some great resources below for new members. We look forward to meeting you and helping you get settled in.
