Thank you for visiting our 2020 Annual Report Page. It goes without saying that 2020 has been a challenging year for our members and downtown. This year, to conform with provincial guidelines we are holding our AGM via Zoom – email info@downtownvictoria.ca for the login information.
This section of our website is dedicated to showing you our main accomplishments over the last year. I would ask that you review each section. Events such as Small Business Month 2019 and Lights of Wonder 2019 were major successes. Our Clean Team continued to shine as our most popular member-facing service.
We shifted quickly at the onset of COVID to become laser focussed on supporting our members from survival to recovery. This work continues to be our #1 priority. Our Save the Sales campaign has been hugely successful. We will be creating a fall campaign and then a December campaign to continue to drive customers into downtown.
Finally, the DVBA has been at the forefront of advocacy for you, our members. On issues from federal relief programs to the removal of campers in Centennial Square, we have been amplifying your voices to statutory decision makers.
We continue to need to hear from you as we travel through this fall season. Please feel free to contact me with comments, questions, concerns, or kudos to our team at jeff@downtownvictoria.ca or 250-386-2239.
Sincerely,
Jeff Bray
