Toronto Downtown West Business Improvement Area (BIA) Launches "Neighbourhood" E-Gift Card Program

The program Features a special BIA bonus incentive of 25% added value to each E-Gift Card purchased. The card is a great gift idea, and will be released in time for the Holidays, with redemptions expected to take place in the New Year.

TORONTO, Dec. 14, 2021 /CNW/ - The Toronto Downtown West BIA is made up of a large employment base of people in a wide range of industries occupying spaces in everything from tall glass towers to tiny Victorian houses. The streets and PATH connect to cafes, retail, art galleries, hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs, and lounges, as well as an array of small amenity services. Additionally, this neighbourhood is home to large cultural attractions such as, CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, Scotiabank Arena, Rogers Centre, Roy Thomson Hall, Princess of Wales Theatre, Royal Alexandra Theatre, TIFF Bell Lightbox, The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, and Metro Toronto Convention Centre, making this one of the most vibrant and dynamic neighbourhoods in Canada.

The Toronto Downtown West BIA is launching a Neighbourhood E-Gift Card and is adding a 25% bonus to each card purchased during their holiday campaign.

"As we return to the office, and business and leisure travel makes its comeback, we want to remind you of all the great reasons you've come to love this area," stated Michael Emory, Chair of the Toronto Downtown West BIA.

Mayor Tory encourages all businesses in the Downtown West BIA to register and participate in this program that will support small businesses weathering the challenges posed by the pandemic. He further emphasized, "This holiday program captures the very mission of our pandemic recovery: supporting local. This holiday season we are encouraging residents to buy and shop local. The Toronto Downtown West BIA is such a vibrant and vital neighbourhood in our city – with so much to offer residents and visitors. This added-bonus gift card will create greater opportunities for Torontonians to reconnect with their favourite restaurants, businesses, and attractions, and in doing so, support these businesses that have been heavily impacted by the pandemic."

The "Neighbourhood" E-Gift Card can be purchased through the BIA and our partner, AnyCard websites (BIA/ AnyCard). E-Gift Cards will be sold over a one-week period (or while supplies last) starting December 13^th, 2021, arriving just in time for the Holiday gift shopping season. We hope everyone will take advantage of the 25% bonus, as well as the opportunity to support some of the hardest-hit businesses during these challenging times. Businesses in Toronto's Downtown West are encouraged to register and participate in this program intended to stimulate sales and boost the local economy.
