“The mandate of Mount Pleasant Commercial Improvement Society is to undertake activities involving promotion, business recruitment and general maintenance of the Mount Pleasant Business Improvement Area with the object of improving its economic viability and general image, and to promote common concerns and interests of businesses and property owners in the area to bring them together for fulfilling the purposes of the Society.”
MPCIS is a non-profit, community-based organization. It was established in 1989 by the Mount Pleasant Business Association (MPBA), to administer the Business Improvement Area (BIA) under the terms of a City of Vancouver by-law. The MPBA was formed in June 1985 to implement the Downtown Revitalization Program and to promote matters of common concern and interest to the business and property owners of the BIA.
The Business Improvement Area extends from 7th to 16th Avenues along Main Street, 7th to 12th Avenues along Kingsway, and from Guelph St. to Ontario St. along East Broadway. All businesses located within this area are members, and are entitled to all member benefits and society voting privileges. For more detail, please see the map on the attached MPCIS brochure.
