Emery Village BIA Executive Director’s message

The weather is getting warmer and we hope the community is settling into the fall season. There are several businesses in the BIA with fall sales and we encourage you to shop local. As construction continues on Finch West Avenue and Milvan Drive for the Finch West LRT, there will be some sidewalk and crosswalk closures, and we encourage you to stay up to date with construction updates through our website, social media, and e-newsletter.
