About

Vibrant. Connected. Diverse. The Downtown Yonge neighbourhood is the heart of Downtown Toronto, connecting the city both geographically and culturally. A vibrant retail, restaurant, entertainment and service community, it is constantly growing and offers visitors a diverse range of experiences.

Whatever interests you, Downtown Yonge offers something tailored for everyone. Within the area, you will find several tourist destinations, over 600 retail stores, 150 bars and restaurants, 8 hotels, 4 theatres, and the outdoor entertainment hub of Yonge-Dundas Square.

It’s an exciting time for Downtown Yonge. The area is experiencing a renaissance and we welcome you to be a part of it. Through efforts of the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area (B.I.A) and the City of Toronto, you will discover a downtown that’s cleaner, safer, and more inviting.

The Downtown Yonge B.I.A. is a non-profit organization made up of local businesses and property owners, who are working towards making Downtown Yonge one of the best places in the world for shopping, business and entertainment.

The Downtown Yonge B.I.A. was formed on June 26, 2001 as a result of the efforts of the former Yonge Street Business and Residents Association. Members include approximately 2,000 local businesses and property owners. Funding for the Downtown Yonge B.I.A. comes from a supplementary tax levied on all commercial buildings within its boundaries. The City of Toronto collects this money and returns it to the community to fund local services and improvements.

 

 

Mission Statement

The Downtown Yonge B.I.A. is the voice of the business community. It is committed to improving and promoting the Downtown Yonge area through investment and advocacy to maintain its position as Toronto’s premier shopping, business and entertainment destination.
