Strategic Plan 2021

Our agenda reflects the priorities of over 1,400 members

Our agenda reflects the priorities of over 1,400 members, which is to advance the prosperity and economic competitiveness of Downtown Surrey by building partnerships to create a dynamic and sustainable Downtown that is the place to invest, work, learn, live and play. We are committed to energizing a dynamic business environment that benefits and enhances all aspects of our growing Downtown including public safety, transit and transportation, investment, growth, sustainability, livability and education and training.

The DSBIA engages all three levels of government on behalf of our members and we produce independent studies, surveys, research, strategic and placemaking events with the goal of contributing to the positive growth of our community.

Our Surrey Vision Report
