Downtown Whitby is more than a city core—with its unique charm, historic architecture and diverse mix of local businesses it truly is a destination! The community is filled with shops, restaurants, spas, personal services and entertainment venues. Downtown is also where you will find weekly farmers markets May through October, and a variety of arts and cultural events all year long that make the streets of Downtown Whitby a wonderful place for everyone to explore.

The My Main Street Local Business Accelerator Program recognizes that main streets are an integral part of the community and its primary focus is to offer support to new and existing brick-and-mortar shops that form the heart of Downtown Whitby. Business owners are encouraged to reach out to your local Whitby Business Ambassador to find out how this program may be of assistance to you.

JOIN US FOR THE UPCOMING EVENT:

On Tuesday, May 31, 2022, your local Whitby My Main Street Ambassadors will share information about the My Main Street program as well as insights on Whitby's Community Profile, and how to use these data-driven analytics to help with business and community recovery after Covid-19.
