The Yonge North York BIA is formed by a group of volunteer Board of Directors who own or operate businesses in the Willowdale area. Our main area of focus is on improving the local economy within the BIA area. The BIA Board of Directors act as a liaison between local businesses and government, to express the interests of businesses and have an impact on policies made with respect to the Willowdale area.
Discover the unique urban vibe of our business community curated by our premier restaurants, retails shops, personal and professional services. Our business members are ready to serve you! Located in the heart of North York, visit the Yonge North York BIA along the Yonge Street corridor. Enjoy the experience from Hwy 401 to Bishop Avenue.
We aim to be the preferred destination in North Toronto for businesses, residents, visitors and workers to live, work and play.
