Initially, the idea was to offer an incentive for other city BIA's (such as Gastown, Robson Street, Chinatown, Davie Village, etc.) to use the Downtown Ambassadors and for those BIA's to be eligible to receive city funding to 'top up' any BIA money spent on the program.

We began to offer a five-minute response service in a small geographic area and that took off." Read More
