Special Thanks

We are committed to ensuring your safe visit to Mount Pleasant this 2022. We are so grateful to everyone who comes to visit our neighbourhood.

Especially all the support received over the last 2 years. To all the amazing business owners and customer representatives.

To all BIA members who work around the clock to maintain the well-being of the BIA (it’s like a Parks and recreation episode, trust me). From those bouquets of flowers towering over the lamp pole, to the events coordinated by passionate business and management personnel.

Mount Pleasant Village works because people and small-business owners are the core of the BIA. There are many business owners who continue the work their grandparents put into their store.

It’s not just that Mount Pleasant Village BIA is ranked in the 3rd best neighbourhood in Toronto. It’s not just that Mount Pleasant is a mosaic of cultural fusion. And It’s not just that Mount Pleasant is the old heart of Toronto. It’s about supporting local business.

So, in 2022, shop locally on Main Street. Come on down and see what’s going. It’s only just the beginning!
