Part of the

Business Committee

The business committee brings together neighbors and local businesses to build a more connected, thriving commercial community. Whether it’s supporting existing businesses or helping new ones take root, we work to make Maple Leaf a great place to live, shop, and start something new.

Support a thriving neighborhood

A strong business community brings energy and connection to Maple Leaf. From everyday essentials to special neighborhood spots, businesses help shape how we experience our community. This committee helps keep that ecosystem healthy, visible, and well-loved by the people who live here.

Grow opportunities close to home

More small businesses mean more chances for neighbors to access what they need without leaving the neighborhood. Whether it’s helping a new business open its doors or promoting under-the-radar local gems, your work supports the kind of walkable, vibrant community we all want.

Champion local voices

Businesses are run by neighbors, too—and they deserve a seat at the table. This committee helps make sure their needs are heard, especially when it comes to city policies, zoning, or infrastructure. You’ll help advocate for a business environment that works for everyone.
