Who is ready for a fantastic summer? I know everyone at the BIA office is getting excited about our upcoming summer events. With events like movies in the park, Euro Cup soccer games and our second annual wine festival, I’m sure this summer in Emery Village is going to be one to remember. However, the Emery Village community should not just be excited about events, we also have launched some new initiatives including a pre-paid VISA rewards card which is free to sign up and you receive deals at different merchants in the community. As well we have been encouraging business owners to provide the community with monthly deals such as discounts and feature offers. To see the monthly deals look for the Emery Village Works section in the Voice Newspaper this month. This is just another way we are encouraging people to shop local and support our community. This month Emery Village BIA was proud of sponsor 31 Division’s Police department BBQ. It was a fantastic event; full of kids having their faces painted and tasty treats being eaten. We hope everyone who came out had a wonderful time. Emery Village BIA loves to support community events. If you have an event, let us know! I look forward to seeing you all at the first event of the summer. Please check our website www.emeryvillagebia.ca for dates and times of all the summer events.
