The Collingwood Business Improvement Association (CBIA) has been very busy this past year.  We hosted several very successful events by leveraging our levy dollars by securing local sponsorship, receiving over $25,000.00 in grants and through in-kind partnerships with local businesses, community groups and other not-for-profit agencies.  A strong working relationship with other community groups like the Collingwood Community Policing Centre, Collingwood Neighbourhood House, Sir Guy Carleton Elementary School, and local businesses Safeway, London Drugs, Vancity and Starbucks, plus many others, have allowed the Collingwood BIA to take a further leadership role in the community.  With the support and guidance of a committed board and our membership we expect to continue to accomplish much over the next 7 years.

Early in the new year the CBIA will be contacting you for your input on serveral survey questions that will help guide our planning and assist us in achieving our seven year mandate.  At any time please contact the CBIA with any comments, questions or concerns you may have when doing business in Collingwood.  We can be reached at 604.639.4403 or email at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

We look forward help build Collingwood and to continue making it one of the best places to shop, live, work and do business in.

All the best for a prosperous 2010.

From the Board and Staff of the Collingwood BIA
