The 50th Anniversary & BIA Week Toolkit
OBIAA is proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of BIAs by releasing the 50th Anniversary & BIA Week Toolkit.
We are encouraging BIAs across the province to host their own local BIA Week, an idea “ripped off & duplicated” from the Toronto Association of BIAs (TABIA). They hold a BIA Week for all 84 Toronto BIAs every year, usually at the end of March.
The Toolkit includes templates and samples that BIAs can use to build their deputation, as well as logos, infographics, branding guides, FAQs, the history of BIAs, fillable charts, videos, and a step-by-step guide on how to use each item in the kit.
*Please note that if you download the Toolkit, the video will not work.
