Current status

Downtown businesses have voted in favour of disestablishing the downtown Business Improvement Area. The City is proceeding with the required legislative steps and continuing essential downtown services, support for public spaces, and support for downtown events during the transition.

What comes next

Council has approved a downtown-focused Committee of Council to provide advice and help guide future discussions about downtown businesses, public spaces, events, and long-term revitalization.

Committee details, application timing, and membership information will be posted here once confirmed.
