Bringing Back the Historic Queen Street East BIA

I’m excited to announce that I am working to revitalize the Historic Queen Street East Business Improvement Area (BIA)

Queen Street East, between Victoria Street and River Street, is a prime location to live work and relax with friends and enjoy a coffee or a micro brew. It’s a testament to our city’s rich past, with beautiful architecture dating back to the 19th century. The street is packed with independent bookstores, small butchers and a plethora of good and affordable foods from across the globe. This historic area is experiencing a resurgence of new restaurants and retail that would be well served by a BIA to advocate for their interests. 

If you know a business owner on this stretch of Queen Street East  or want to support this revitalization, check out our website! (​​https://historicqueeneast.ca/) Our website will serve as a central point for information and updates on the progress of the revitalization of the Historic Queen Street East BIA.

Call for Volunteers

Are you a resident who wants to see more vibrancy and seasonal beautification on Queen Street East between Victoria Street and River Street? We’re looking for strong neighbourhood champions to engage with local businesses to build support for a revitalized BIA.

It has been a tremendously busy summer! Between Pride and FIFA on one end, the final Toronto and East York Community Council and City Council of the term later this month on the other, and the ongoing Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot, my team and I have been working hard to continue delivering results. Despite the stress, despite the heat, and especially despite the province’s ongoing work to make the City of Toronto miserable, for this final proper Councillor Update of the term, I want to provide positive vibes only.

The celebration on Church Street continues! The Church Street Pedestrianization has officially launched, with the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area (BIA) and my team installed patios and more seating on Church Street post-Pride to make it an even better place to visit. The pedestrianization lasts until August 21, so come on out and experience The Village like never before, enjoy the beautiful weather, and help me advocate for more pedestrianization across the City and to make this pilot permanent!
