Who We Are & What We Do

Supporting our members and initiatives that are important to them.

Uptown Saint John, under the management of a skilled and experienced Board of Directors, has an ever-changing mandate focused on initiatives specific to the needs of our membership.

We take great pride in our partnerships with the Lunch Connection through Chop Chop restaurant week, and the Meter for Change initiative, among others.

We work to enhance the foundation of the community we serve.

Bringing colour and vibrancy to the City’s core through lighting, landscaping, public art, and signage with a focus on animating public spaces.

Uptown Saint John lies in the heart of our charming and historic city. Efforts to beautify happen twelve months of the year with, for example, the purchase of trees, tulips, wildflowers and more to adorn the many flowerbeds peppered throughout the Uptown core.

We make every effort to bring colour and vibrance to the streets of Uptown Saint John through holiday lighting, facade grants, creative banners, year-round tree illumination, and initiatives in cooperation with our member businesses.

Supporting the City of Saint John’s efforts to keep the Uptown neat, clean, and sanitary with the help of our Clean Crew.

Neat, clean and sanitary. That is how we believe our city should feel, always. Uptown Saint John employs a two-person “Clean Crew” that moves throughout the city to paint, weed, sweep and remove debris, graffiti and more.

Your BIA is proud to have purchased an all-terrain litter vacuum to assist with the safe removal of the finer bits of litter and debris on our city sidewalks.

Our Clean Crew goes above and beyond with the pressure washing of sidewalks, bus stop terminals, and stocking doggie waste bag dispensers for our pet loving residents.

Showcasing the best in dining, retail, and services. Promoting programming and events that make the Uptown the place to be.
