RSVP: Community Consultation Sessions on July 24th + 27th

The Yonge  + St. Clair BIA invites you to join us at one of 3 upcoming community consultation drop-in sessions at 55 St. Clair Ave West for the development of our 2024-2029 Strategic Plan. Our goal is to engage members of the Yonge + St. Clair community in the development process to make sure that our goals and strategies continue to align with those of our community as we move forward through the next 5 years. Attendees will be invited to place stickers and post-it notes on question boards, review our previous strategic plan, interact with a 3-D map of current and future developments in Yonge + St. Clair, and consult directly with members of the BIA’s staff and Board on the future of Yonge + St. Clair. Light refreshments will be provided.

What is the Yonge + St. Clair BIA? The Yonge + St. Clair Business Improvement Area (BIA) represents 450+ businesses and 90+ property owners in the Yonge + St. Clair community in midtown Toronto, Ontario and serves its audience of local residents, visitors and >20,000 daily workers and commuters. Formed in 2018, the BIA strengthens the economic health and livability of the neighbourhood through strategic investments in the public realm, exciting cultural programming, brand awareness and advocacy on behalf of members.

In 2019, we created a Strategic Plan to accomplish several key goals with the ultimate purpose of establishing a framework to make Yonge + St. Clair a community of growth and success.

These goals were to: 

+ Review the context within which the Yonge + St. Clair BIA was working at the time
+ Identify key insights provided to us by the constituents of Yonge + St. Clair
+ Define the core vision and values of the Yonge + St. Clair BIA
+ Establish broad strategic objectives for our BIA to strive towards

You can review the 2019-2022 Strategic Plan here. 

We are seeking to update the Strategic Plan to better suit both present and future constituents of Yonge + St. Clair. While our key goals remain the same, our updated Strategic Plan will identify and adapt to the shifting contexts, community needs and available resources in Yonge + St. Clair. These considerations will be reviewed as we develop a formalized economic development process to expand upon our work and make Yonge + St. Clair a community that works for everyone. 

We look forward to hearing from you!
