Welcome to the business web site of the St. Lawrence Market BIA - a local business association. We are a non-profit entity whose members consist of all businesses and property owners in the BIA area. Our objective is to strive for the improvement and betterment of the area by stimulating local business and traffic. Every business in the area is automatically a member of the organization.  The BIA is an extension of the City of Toronto. Therefore there are monthly meetings of the board of directors and reports and monitoring systems from the Treasurer to the Chairperson.

 Our recently expanded St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA is located in historic Old Town Toronto and is bounded by Yonge Street in the West, Lakeshore in the South, Parliament in the East and just south of Queen Street in the North.  This is the birthplace of Toronto.  What began as the Town of York is now a place where old and new coexist, where heritage buildings stand alongside modern condominiums and businesses. 

You can travel back in time and explore the original 10 blocks of the city in the Town of York,  the Victorian lanes of Corktown and the 19th Century architecture in Queen Street East.  Or make your own history by getting up close and personal with the Stanley Cup at the Hockey Hall of Fame.  Marvel at the heritage architecture of St. Lawrence Hall, the Flatiron Building, St. James Cathedral and the Distillery District and spend time relaxing in Berczy and St. James Parks.  Our area is a food destination with many fine dining restaurants and friendly pubs.  Hungry office workers and shoppers congregate at the 200 year old St. Lawrence Market to enjoy a wide array of international gourmet treats or stock up on fresh, locally grown produce.  We are home to world class live performances of theatre, dance and music on Front Street and the largest collection of unique fine home decor and design stores in Toronto in the King Street Design District.  It's all part of what makes our area a destination for businesses, locals and visitors.

For general and visitor information about the St. Lawrence Market neighborhood, we invite you to visit our consumer website OldTownToronto.ca.
