Word on the Street in Downtown Oakville! September 2021

Our Members and Community feedback is so valuable, which is why we are continuously reaching out to stay connected! Here are a few quotes from our members and the community over the last few months. It's all about those "the best part of your day” moments!

Thank you for the warm welcome! My family and I have lived in so many different areas of the GTA in the last decade and we were never able to find the community and lifestyle we were craving. When we discovered Oakville we were hooked and made the trip from Toronto almost every weekend. This year we were finally able to make the move and I must say it feels like home. Downtown Oakville has that combination of European lifestyle and tight community that I was looking for. So thrilled to be part of this special corner of Ontario. Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!

- Yuriy, Lozynsky CPA (new business in ACE Coworking)

Things are going great. We’re getting all of our new fall merchandise in and it’s been busy. Looking forward to meeting you!

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I will definitely fill out the participation survey. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks so much for stopping by, it was great to meet you. I’m so happy to be a part of the downtown community and look forward to spending my days here. I will definitely go to the website and look at all of the exciting marketing opportunities you shared. Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to light your candles!! Trust me. They’ll make your evening feel more special. 😉

DTO resident and lover of all things Oakville! Can’t say enough good things about the positive momentum and great energy your team expends for the businesses in our lovely town. Excited to hear your stat summary and upcoming events news at this afternoon’s Marketing Coffee Chat!

- Onita, Nyla’s Room

It’s wonderful to see the BIA supporting our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with the lovely orange ribbons along the street. Such an important step forward; we will also be paying tribute.

Thanks for coming by our office last week –I was just browsing some of the upcoming events and they look great! We are going to share them with our local clients. Thanks so much!

- Frances, 3 Keys Wealth of Raymond James Investment Counsel (new business)

We really appreciate the extra promotion and your wonderful team already answered any questions we had RE: events and the community – so thanks J

- Cathie and Janice, HAVEN Home & Gift (new business)

Thank you for your message! I'm definitely sad to leave downtown as the manager here, it's been 7 wonderful years but I still live close by so I won't have to cold-turkey quit my pumpkin tart addiction at Black Forest Bakery after a sweaty class at Spinco - haha. What a small world with you knowing our District Manager!!! I hope you two are able to have a lovely Tribeca Coffee catchup chat soon! Every time she comes down here I tell her she has to try some of their Wallflower Donuts but they are always sold out when she goes! Have a lovely day and thanks for all you do!

- Jessi, Roots

Hey! The opening was great. COVID restrictions impacted how I would normally celebrate a new location launch; however, my client base has responded positively, and I have confirmed a few new bookings. Thanks for asking and thank you for the kind words! Have a great weekend!

- Elisa, Sculpt (new business)

Thanks so much for giving me a quick tour around the Downtown yesterday. It’s probably the prettiest Downtown in the country and the BIA team plays a big part in it. Great job!

- Richard, Downtown visitor

Great meeting you guys today down in Town Square Oakville. I like the work you do. As an advocate for active transportation, I also like to promote “local”. I continue to follow the progress that is being made to transform downtown. I’ve documented some of it on my Instagram posts. Good luck with the work you are doing.

- Marcus, Oakville resident

This is brilliant - thank you for this great insight into the client base! E-Hugs!

- Onita, Nyla’s Room

Thank you so much for stopping by today – it is so fabulous to have the support of you and your BIA team! Your excitement and enthusiasm about the store and the downtown is infectious and we are thrilled to be part of it all! We really appreciate you thinking of us and would love to be part of your project with the videographer.

- Cathie and Janice, HAVEN Home & Gift (new business)

BIG, HUGE, WOO-HOO NEWS!! We are so excited to finally share that North is growing and we’re opening a 2nd location…in beautiful @oakvilledowntown (insert high-pitched yelp of excitement here)! We can’t wait to take care of you, Oakville

- Amanda, North Medical Spa (new business coming soon)

The vintage truck that was set up in Towne Square for fall looks amazing! Great job to the BIA on creativity and bringing new and fun displays to the downtown.
