Business Facilitation

Business facilitation is a free service for individuals or business owners who would like to construct a new building, make renovations to an existing building or expand their building or property.

How can a business facilitator help me?

A business facilitator guides you through City processes before you open or expand. They provide you with a checklist of the processes you need to follow for your project.

When you meet with a business facilitator they review your project. They let you know:

• What applications you need to complete and associated cost
• Approximately how long it will take to complete your project
• Additional contacts to help you be successful

Business facilitators are also available to:

• Advocate on your behalf
• Work with City staff, such as Planners, to suggest solutions to facilitate development
• Assist with the release of securities
• Guide you through the clearing of conditions for Site Plan approval
