WHY JOIN?

Learn - BIAs are vital to the economic well being of our towns and cities. They are also complex organizations with many interests and components. The more knowledge and expertise you have about a BIA, the better for your business district and your community. There is so much you need to know. Running a BIA requires a multiplicity of skills, knowledge and decisions. Each one of us struggles daily with similar issues. OBIAA offers you a central source for information and advice.

Lobby
The stronger your voice, the more you can influence. For the continued health of business in our areas, we need to speak clearly and loudly enough to be noticed. OBIAA will be your advocate with all levels of government.

Share
The more you work with others, the surer you are. You're not alone. Other BIAs are facing the same issues you are. We provide the means for you to tap into that vast body of experiential knowledge. We invite you to join the Ontario BIA association and help us create a strong voice, to learn from others, to learn from experts and to share with people who've been there and done it. We exist to help you achieve your goals.
