The Ontario Business Improvement Area Association (OBIAA) and the International Downtown Association (IDA) are pleased to announce that we have joined forces to create a unique alliance allowing us to launch joint programs, share resources and strengthen downtowns throughout North America. We are delighted to offer to current OBIAA members with budgets less than $600,000 – a significant 40% discount on IDA membership!
