The Cabbagetown Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a not-for-profit community agency, formed and funded by local commercial property owners and tenants. As one of Toronto’s oldest BIAs, we work in partnership with residents, community groups and organizations, other BIA’s, and all three levels of the government to create a vibrant and thriving business community that attracts shoppers, diners, tourists, and new business. We act as a unified voice for Cabbagetown businesses and assist business owners with marketing, applying for City grants and permits, and with accessing supports and resources. We also plan events and initiatives with the goal of engaging our community and attracting visitors and locals to shop, eat, and explore Cabbagetown. We’re always looking for new and better ways to serve our businesses and build a sense of community. We are run by an elected Board of Management and serve businesses along Carlton St and Gerrard St, from Sherbourne to Parliament, along Parliament from Wellesley to Gerrard, and a small enclave of businesses in St. James Town.
