  • Byward Market Annual Report
    ByWard Market Annual 2017 Report Introduction: Administration & Financial ByWard Market BIA Mandate To support and promote the health and vitality of the ByWard Market as a unique business district and meeting place for residents as well as visitors. The ByWard Market is characterized by a wide variety of owner-operated businesses and a farmers’ market that make the Market rich in heritage, activity and animation. Financial Breakdown Revenues & Expenses Property Taxes vs Levies Commercial properties in the ByWard Market BIA pay millions of dollars in property taxes annually to the City of Ottawa. Property taxes DO NOT fund the BIA. 100% of property taxes go directly to the City of Ottawa paying for many City services such as: emergency services (police, fire, ambulance), road maintenance, snow removal, water service and sewers, City parks, and facilities etc… In contrast, the BIA is primarily funded through the BIA levy collected from commercial property owners. It is very important to note that the ByWard Market BIA has one of the lowest levies of all of Ottawa’s urban BIAs. This commitment to keep the levy cost minimal for business members means BIA staff need to find alternative sources of revenue to supplement the overall budget. These include sponsorships, grants, sales, and partnerships. In 2017, the ByWard Market BIA supplemented 35% of the overall operating budget through other sources of revenue (sponsorships, sales, and grants). The Board has always been committed to responsible fiscal management. Even though we are one of the busiest BIAs in the City, the ByWard Market BIA levy remains one of the lowest in the downtown core.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Elena Kaliberda and I am an Editor of this special edition of the ESLA newsletter. I am also the ESLA 1900 course student at the Carleton University. Students like me are the prime readers of this newsletter. One of the key objectives of the ESLA program is to improve the academic knowledge of the English language and get some practical communication skills. Surely, there are many opportunities available at the Carleton University to get involved and practise your communication skills, for example “English as a second language” conversation groups, workshops, seminars, and many others. There are always many various events happening at Carleton, including international conferences, seminars, theatre performances and much more. But it is also important to take advantage of many other opportunities that are available outside the University walls. It is important for so many different reasons. The key here is to receive a real life experience and an opportunity to integrate into every day’s life and learn to communicate in English with ease.

All of this will put us in perfect shape and in the right frame of mind to have a ball at Winterlude in February. Maybe there'll be time to watch a Senators ice hockey game or participate in the locals' curling tournament, as well.
