Pictures or it didn’t happen. City Councillors @LisaDominato @MikeKlassen & @rebeccaleebligh joined us at The Strathcona Blocks Party to visit some of our local businesses.

A huge thank you to Low Tide Properties for all their work on this event!

Small businesses are essential to a thriving community. That’s why we’re creating new funding to support businesses to cover the costs of repairing & preventing vandalism to their establishment. This $10.5M fund is just one way we are taking action to support BC Small Businesses.

[Strathcona BIA @StrathconaBIA]

Amazing advocacy work by @BusinessAreasBC! We are looking forward to the implementation of this program to support small businesses in BC.

[BIABC @BusinessAreasBC]

In response to our work with govt, BIABC is pleased the Province has responded to our urgent calls to address rampant crime and vandalism impacting communities across BC with the $10.5 million Securing Small Business Rebate Program.

Thanks @StrathconaBIA for the story about @604Records. This 'hood has played such an ongoing yet changing role in my life. As a drug addict, i came here for drugs. As a poverty lawyer, my refugee & criminal clients were here. Now, my record company is here https://t.co/VbYxZVoWv0

Thanks to everyone at @StrathconaBIA in Railtown for the tour today. We saw a new, mixed-use building on Railway Ave. with a grand atrium, and views of the city & port, plus watched @boccidesign create beautiful lights from molten glass, and enjoyed a 🤤 meal at @BelgardKitchen.

[Lenny Zhou 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @LennyNanZhou]

We’re so devastated to see some of our Strathcona members displaced yet again because of a building fire.

Times like these we need to wrap our community members in support wherever we can. Sending ♥️ to all of the businesses affected.
