Member Events
The Barrhaven BIA hosts a variety of networking events throughout the year to engage with our membership. These events include both large gatherings and small meet-ups. In 2025, we look forward to connecting with you at the following events:

Barrhaven BIA Annual General Meeting and Festive Reception
DATE TBD – Late November 2025
Join us for our biggest event of the year as we take a moment to reflect and celebrate all the work that was done in the previous year and share our plans for the following year.
Guests will enjoy a networking reception immediately following a brief meeting in a festive setting. Mix and mingle with fellow Barrhaven businesses.
Watch for more details as the event approaches!

The BBIA is proactive in influencing Barrhaven’s economic development and encourages local businesses and property owners to participate as well through the BBIA’s direct link to the City of Ottawa. Members have access to timely information on planning and zoning matters, up-to-date statistical information, and details of important City projects.
