Canadian BRZ/BIA Executive Directors representing all the provinces have formed a leadership group to move forward on work by the first Canadian national network of Business Improvement Areas under the auspices of the International Downtown Association.
Kensington was honoured to be one of two EDs representing Alberta at this first National Summit. We met in Ottawa on March 31 to determine our five main priorities to engage and advocate for issues important to BIAs starting with the next federal election.
This chart shows the five main priorities chosen at the Summit with issues groupings. An Urban Issue White Paper is underway. Stay tuned for more updates.
