Description of Activities
The Downtown Vancouver Business Improvement Association was created by Vancouver City Council in 1990 at the request of downtown business people and property owners.
It is funded by a special municipal levy that is paid by all commercial properties within the Association's geographical boundaries. The entire levy is the operating budget of the Association.
Comprising 90 square blocks of prime office, retail, entertainment and tourism properties, and representing more than 8,000 individual business members, the DVBIA is one of Canada's largest business improvement associations.
per our organization's five-year strategic plan ending in 2028, our five strategic priorities are to 1) Create a safer downtown, 2) Provide reasons for people to come downtown, 2) Reduce barriers to doing business in downtown Vancouver, 4) Strengthen stakeholder relations, and 5) Champion a thriving Granville Street.
