4th street is nestled in the middle of the Mission, Cliff Bungalow and Beltline communities between historic sites and new urban development which is what makes our street so unique.
We want people on our street dining, shopping and utilizing the many services that are available. We strive to accomplish this by beautifying, promoting and maintaining our area through such measures as advertising and promotions, planning and development, events and activities and streetscape elements.
What is a BRZ?
The Province of Alberta passed legislation in 1983, which permits municipal governments to establish Business Revitalization Zones or a “BRZ”. A BRZ is created as a mechanism by which business people in an area can administer funds to improve the area and jointly promote their businesses.
A BRZ is formed through an application to the City Clerk’s office. A petition signed by at least ten persons listed on the current business assessment role for the area is submitted defining the boundary of the area. The city notifies all potential members of the proposed BRZ. Then, City Council may proceed to establish a by-law which lays out the boundaries and purpose of the BRZ.
BRZ Mission
The mission of the 4th Street BRZ is to represent the business interests of its members and to create, promote and maintain a unique, attractive, vibrant and prosperous business area that is appreciated and supported by the local market residents and by visitors from throughout the city and beyond.
