Downtown Winnipeg BIZ

The Downtown Winnipeg BIZ is the oldest of Winnipeg’s 16 business improvement zones. Directed by a management board of 15 business owners/leaders and a representative from city hall – elected by our members at our annual general meeting – the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ markets the city centre on behalf of 1,300 businesses, runs programs and provides services that target downtown image, cleanliness, safety, transportation, and parking. We also host events and promote downtown as a great place to work, shop, and live. Our downtown is on Treaty 1 Territory on the land of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Metis Nation.
