The Oak
Bay Business Improvement Association (Oak Bay BIA)
represents members from 150 businesses and organizations
located on Hampshire Road, Theatre Lane, Wilmot Place,
and Oak Bay Avenue from Monterey Avenue to Foul Bay
Road.
The Oak Bay BIA exists to promote local member businesses
and to contribute to the community at large. This
is achieved in two ways: through advertising and promoting
products and services offered by local businesses,
and by sponsoring a number of exuberant community
events and festivities which have already become part
of local tradition. Celebrations such as Oak Bay's
Christmas Festival, the Easter Egg Scramble, the Royal
Victoria Marathon in Oak Bay and Halloween Trick or
Treat fun ensure that the Oak Bay BIA's profile is
visible year round, while at the same time giving
great pleasure to the children and adults of the
community. These magic moments become treasured Oak
Bay memories.
The Oak Bay BIA works in partnership with Oak Bay
Tourism, the Oak Bay Municipality and the community.
We especially treasure the contributions of our many
community volunteers. Internally the BIA is governed
by a Board comprised of 15 Directors representing
a variety of local businesses. Officers elected by
the Board manage the day-to-day operations of the
Association.
The Oak Bay BIA Directors meetings are usually held
at 8:00 AM on the 2nd Thursday of every month. These
meetings last about an hour. Oak Bay BIA meetings
are open to the public; visitors and guests are welcome.
