About Little Portugal Toronto BIA

A unique blend of historic and contemporary, Little Portugal Toronto BIA is a small independent business collective situated on Dundas Street West, just west of Lansdowne Avenue to Shaw Street. The combination of public murals, boutique stores, bars, restaurants, music venues, professional services, galleries and convenience stores make for a quirky and culturally distinct community spirit. Swing by and experience a sense of belonging, in the heart of Little Portugal. 

Building on previous projects that have successfully supported area beautification, safety and economic development, Dundas West and Little Portugal BIAs have joined to create one larger Business Improvement Area that spans from Shaw Street to the CN tracks just west of Lansdowne Avenue.

Land Acknowledgment

We acknowledge the land we work, play and live on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
