Kleinburg BIA
Who we are
The Kleinburg BIA was established in 1984 by local business and property owners in partnership with the City of Vaughan. Today, the BIA is made up of approximately 75 local businesses and 25 commercial property owners within Kleinburg’s commercial core, and remains the only village BIA in the City of Vaughan.
The Kleinburg BIA holds monthly meetings for its members at the Kline House and is administered by a volunteer Executive Board and several committees. Executive positions are elected annually by members. The organization is recognized by the City of Vaughan and undergoes annual financial review by the City’s Finance Department.
The BIA budget is approved annually by both its members and Vaughan Council. Funding comes from fees paid by local businesses and commercial property owners through commercial property taxes collected within the BIA area.
These funds support advertising, beautification initiatives, special events, community promotion, and the continued development of the Kleinburg Village website.
Where in Kleinburg
KLEINBURG BIA AREA
The Kleinburg BIA is established through a bylaw administered by the City of Vaughan and governed in partnership with the BIA Executive Board. The boundaries of the BIA are defined within this bylaw.
All commercially assessed properties and businesses located within the designated area are automatically members of the Kleinburg BIA. Membership is not optional for properties within the boundary.
The BIA area extends from just north of Kleinburg Public School to just north of John Street, and along Nashville Road from Islington Avenue to Highway 27.
Mission & Vision
The Village of Kleinburg is a community of local businesses, restaurants, cafés, galleries, and professional services located within the City of Vaughan.
What makes Kleinburg distinct is its village character and the mix of independently owned businesses that line Islington Avenue and the surrounding area. Together, they create a walkable destination for both residents and visitors.
The Kleinburg BIA works on behalf of its members to support local businesses, enhance the village core, and promote Kleinburg as a destination to explore, shop, and spend time.
We thank our community, local businesses, and visitors for their continued support.
