Here to Support You

Our nonprofit, driven by dedicated business volunteers, aims to create a connected, healthy, and lively Collingwood community. We’re always here to support you through the BIA.

Angela Evans

Angela Evans has been with the Collingwood BIA since 2007 and in 2010 became the Executive Director. The community is one of Vancouver’s most diverse in residents and business ownership.

Angela is the Safety Committee Chair for the Vancouver BIA Partnership and part of the Restorative Vancouver Collective – Helping to create a Restorative City. Vancouver will be the first in Canada.

Angela has also taken part on steering committees such as the Collingwood Days, SAFE in Collingwood (Sex work Awareness for Everyone), Intercultural Committee, System Change Certificate Program, Anti Racism, Diversity at Work, community Clean Ups and the Renfrew Collingwood Community Response Network.

In her free time Angela enjoys her family and dog, reading, and yoga.

Mihai Aneculaesei

Mihai joined CBIA in September 2022 and has been helping out with data collection, surveys, and business consultation.

Mihai’s favourite thing about Joyce Collingwood is the close-knit business atmosphere.

Bia Caixeta

Bia joined CBIA in August 2021 and has since taken charge of creating, developing, and delivering marketing campaigns both online and offline. This includes managing social media content, holiday campaigns, and contributing to the marketing strategies for local events.

Her favorite thing about Joyce Collingwood is the chance to collaborate with people who are passionate about making a difference. She loves working in an environment open to new ideas and is excited to see them come to life.
