About the Downtown Whitby BIA
Welcome to the Downtown Whitby BIA!
Whitby’s Business Improvement Area (BIA) is a specially designated zone within the downtown core. Businesses within the BIA’s boundaries contribute to the BIA through a mandatory municipal tax.
Member contributions are used to make Downtown Whitby a destination of choice through events, beautification efforts, business support, and more. Two full-time staff members, a voluntary Board of Management and two voluntary committees operate the BIA. The Downtown Whitby BIA’s mandate is “Feet on the street, and dollars in the door.”
With over 300 businesses located downtown, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.
