The Toronto Chinatown Business Improvement Area (CBIA) is a not-for-profit community based City of Toronto agency and was established in 2007. It is one of the 81 Business Improvement Areas created by the City. It was formed by the area's commercial property owners and tenants, along with Trinity-Spadina's City Councillor Ceta Ramkhalawansingh. As a City agency, CBIA adheres to guidelines and recommendations from the City of Toronto. In addition, CBIA works closely with all three levels of the government, area residents, community groups, other BIAs and the private sector to build a strong Chinatown community.The key purposes of CBIA are to preserve the Chinese heritage and culture, improve on Chinatown's streetscape, health and safety, and to create exciting community events and projects to promote the area and draw hundreds of thousands of annual visitors and locals to eat, shop and explore the neighbourhood. By increasing the desirability of Chinatown, more employment opportunities and new businesses will also be continually attracted to the area to enhance on the existing vibrancy and tenancy mix.
