Emery Village BIA Executive Director’s message - August 2024

Emery Village BIA

Executive Director’s message

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made Emery Village BIA’s final summer event a smashing success. Our movie in the park night at Lanyard Park was an unforgettable evening filled with joy, laughter, and cinematic magic under the stars. As the sun set and the big screen lit up, it was clear that we wrapped up summer on a high note, with families and friends coming together to celebrate the season. A special thanks to all the Emery businesses that participated in our summer events.

With the back-to-school season right around the corner, we want to take a moment to remind all drivers to exercise extra caution on the roads. As school zones become bustling with activity, it’s crucial for everyone to be vigilant and drive with care. Parents, please take a moment to review street crossing safety with your children, especially around busy drop-off and pick-up areas, to help ensure a safe environment for all.

Additionally, if you’re looking for a way to give back, we’re collecting new backpacks and school supplies to support children and families in need. Donations can be dropped off at 1885 Wilson Avenue in the donation box located in the lobby, anytime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays from August 19th to September 20th. Your generosity will help make this school year a little brighter for those who could use a helping hand.

We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your summer with family, friends, and our wonderful community. Here’s to a fantastic end of the season and a smooth transition into the new school year.

To our business owners and Humber River Black Creek residents, the BIA has developed a comprehensive emergency contact form designed to assist businesses of all sizes and Humber River Black Creek residents. This valuable resource is now available for download on our website:[url=http:// emeryvillagebia.ca] emeryvillagebia.ca[/url].

We encourage all business owners to take advantage of this tool to enhance your preparedness and response capabilities.
