Mr. Don Panos – Chair – (416) 652-7224
The St. Clair Gardens BIA is located on St. Clair Avenue West, from Caledonia Rd to just west of Old
Weston Rd. This developing BIA is recognized for promoting the international flavour it brings to the
neighborhood.
One of the primary goals of the BIA is to work together with our merchants and property owners. In
addition we also work very closely with the local residents, the community police liaison committee and
our local City Councilor on community safety initiatives.
Since its creation in 1985, the BIA has worked on a variety of beautification projects, local park
improvements and special events in an effort to bring the community together to celebrate St. Clair and
the wonderful services, shops and people.
