Shop In Your Community / Save In Your Community that’s the idea behind the Boards’ decision to issue membership cards when a resident or business joins the

Corktown Residents and Business Association, (CRBA).  Our organization is currently campaigning raising the awareness of our organization and to attract new members from both the business and residential population of our beloved Corktown.  Our Mission Statement is: “The Association exists to enhance the quality of residential and business life, to promote and market Corktown, and to act as a voice for the community.”  Board meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month, except August.  Our members attend local meetings regarding developments in the neighbourhood and report the information at meetings.  We have members that attend the police liaison committee meetings held monthly. Guest Speakers from government and private industry are invited to attend meetings to speak on topics that concern the neighbourhood. We offer reasonable rates for advertising in a newsletter published quarterly.  Delivered throughout the neighbourhood “The Corktowner” reports news in the area and promotes local businesses.  Individuals are encouraged to submit articles for possible printing. (Submit potential articles for “The Corktowner” to: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )

Our new Advantage Cards will promote businesses by offering local patrons discounts and special rewards for shopping locally.  These area businesses will be posted on www.corktown.ca/membership   with links to their sites.  Retailers will also be issued a sign to post in the storefront of the business.  One must be a paid up member in order to obtain the benefits the card offers.  We are hopeful that with your help we can continue to unite our community and keep our local economy healthy.
