In late 2013, Burlington Downtown was
invited to participate in a local business
initiative called Shop the Neighbourhood.
We used this opportunity to launch a
supporting campaign called ♥ OUR HOOD.
The campaign invited people from our
community to voice what they love about
downtown Burlington. Not only did the
public respond – but Shop the Neighbourhood
Event Sponsors, Yellow Pages Group, liked
it so much that they awarded Burlington
Downtown with the Community Spirit
Award (and $10,000 cheque).
This was truly a community effort.
Thanks to all of the businesses that
participated in Shop the Neighbourhood
Event and the ♥ OUR HOOD campaign.
And special thanks to our organizing
committee: Jennifer Walker, Mirella
Marsillo, Janet Sachade and Joelle
Goddard–Cooling.
The Board of the BDBA will be making
decisions in the coming weeks to
formalize how this $10,000 will be used
towards beautification efforts in the
downtown. We will be communicating
these decisions with the membership
once finalized.
SHOP THE NEIGHBOURHOOD - WE WON!

Burlington welcomes thousands of visitors
to the City annually to participate in
Regional and National Sports Tournaments
and Group Conferences. As our facilities
are updated to accommodate even more
large events (eg. opening of the new Haber
Community Centre), these opportunities
are also expanding.
Visitors are often staying in Burlington for
several days – looking for things to do in
their downtime. We will be working with
Tourism Burlington this year to connect
with Event organizers and local hotels to
help direct people to our downtown.
