The Old East Village BIA is a local board of the municipality of the City of London consisting of local merchants, business and property owners and agency representatives.  Its mandate is to beautify, improve, and promote the Old East Village shopping district on Dundas Street between Adelaide Street and Elizabeth Street.

Some of the examples of how the BIA encourages business improvement and promotes the Old East Village commercial corridor as a good place to shop, visit and do business include the installation of street banners, flower baskets, benches and seasonal decorations to enhance the image of a family oriented shopping district.

At the present the BIA recovers all the costs of above by assessing a levy on 100% of the property owners in the area on Dundas Street from Adelaide Street to Elizabeth Street.
