The Ontario Business Improvement Area Association (OBIAA) is a network representing and supporting BIAs across Ontario. We encourage and guide BIAs to increase their effectiveness, contribution to the economic, cultural and social well-being of communities.
OBIAA is a leader in the development and sharing of information, tools, training, resources and best practices.
The Digital Main Street Digital Transformation Grant (DTG) program provides brick-and-mortar small businesses with a $2,500 grant to support their digital expansion through the purchase and adoption of digital tools and technologies. The DTG applications portal is now open and will remain open until September 30, 2023 ( or until grant funds are fully exhausted).
