About the BIA: “The Way to spend a perfect day!”

The Eglinton Way BIA is the perfect place to shop, stroll, browse, eat, and get pampered with its multiple stores, services and eateries. The area is considered one of Toronto’s most fashionable shopping districts and features a myriad of boutiques offering designer and artisanal wares. Shopping local is a concept important to The Eglinton Way BIA, and the local businesses contribute to the neighbourhood’s unique spirit.
