Hastings Crossing Business Improvement Association (HxBIA)
Supporting The People And Economics Of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside Through Social Innovation.
HxBIA serves close to 800 plus businesses and property owners in a central portion of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) stretching from Richards St. to Gore Ave. along Hastings St. and portions of Pender, Cordova, Main and Powell St. By focusing on initiatives that support the resiliency of the local economy, we collaborate, connect, facilitate, and challenge ourselves to form creative solutions with all our partners and supporters in the best interest of the community we serve.
HxBIA is an organization that takes a leadership role in managing change and shaping a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable local economy here in the Downtown Eastside. Through collaboration with its business members, grassroots, government, private sector and non-profit partners we bridge the needs of local businesses with the capacity of community focused organizations to foster a vibrant, healthy and diverse area for all.
We are a proud sponsor of BC Buy Local Week (November 27–December 3, 2023). This is an annual celebration of the unique contributions that BC businesses make to our economy. Each of our local businesses are part of this. Providing great jobs and supporting local service providers, local causes, and keeping money circulating in the community.
