City of Toronto launches retail main streets business survey
The City of Toronto is inviting the Toronto business community and residents to share their views on the issues and challenges facing independent street-level businesses in Toronto.
The survey will give the City a deeper understanding of the current economic, policy and regulatory environment in which these businesses operate, the key issues they face and the types of supports that will be most helpful to them.
The two surveys (one for businesses/retail main street owners and one for residents/customers) are available until May 20th at the links below:

“Retail main streets are our city's most visible centres of employment, economic activity, cultural expression and social diversity. They are integral to the well-being and prosperity of the city and the local neighbourhoods they embody and serve. This survey will help us better understand their needs and challenges and how to best work with them so that they can continue to grow and thrive.”
– Mayor John Tory
The results of the study will be presented to the Economic and Community Development Committee in early 2020. More information about the City’s retail main streets study is available at: http://www.toronto.ca/retailmainstreets.
