Win This Space logo

We wanted to provide an update on the “Win This Space” program to our community.  We very much appreciate everyone’s support of this program and wanted to let you know that the BIA Board has made the decision to not move forward with “Win This Space” at this time. 

We postponed this program several times, since the initial launch in 2020, in order to focus on supporting our current businesses during the ever changing landscape of COVID-19.  While we are now in a position where we could consider launching again, we face a new challenge of very limited commercial space available within the Listowel BIA.  While this is a good problem to have it means that running this program would not achieve the results the program was established to create. 

As a result, we reached out to Libro regarding the Libro Prosperity Grant we were awarded for this program and are pleased to announce that they have agreed to allow us to graciously keep the grant money for a new project.  We have been approved to use the funds for a beautification project to help draw people to our downtown with a focus on art installations which are yet to be determined. The Listowel BIA Board is currently working to determine how to best use these funds in this capacity.  We believe that this will enhance the pedestrian experience within the downtown and create a more livable space enjoyed by residents, businesses, and visitors. We hope to share more details on this in the upcoming months.  If you are interested in supporting this program, please reach out to us.

We want to thank everyone who has supported the “Win this Space” initiative including Libro, our sponsors, trainers, and partners. A program like this takes many people to be successful.   We appreciate the support of this program and the work the Listowel BIA does for our community at large.  Please feel free to reach out to the Listowel BIA with questions or to support our new project.

Find out more about WIN THIS SPACE by visiting the Discover Listowel website. 

McIntosh Farms - Butcher Shop was our Grand Prize Winner for WIN THIS SPACE 2018 Listowel!  They have been a wonderful addition to our business community.

Why “WIN THIS SPACE”?

Adapted from a project implemented in a neighbouring rural community with great success, the Listowel BIA will launch “WIN THIS SPACE” in early spring 2020. 

“WIN THIS SPACE” will see entrepreneurs complete business preparation sessions, with the winner receiving financial support towards commercial rental space in the town of Listowel. Participants will learn business plan creation, budgeting, human resources, and marketing, while sharpening presentation skills for the creation of their new business or expansion of their existing business.

The Listowel BIA believes this project will directly result in business growth and development, new job creation, fill vacant retail space in the community, as well as provide valuable exposure for the town. The project will also:

  • Have the potential to attract new businesses and entrepreneurs from outside the area.
  • Support current businesses and the community as a whole by marketing Listowel as a place to ‘Shop, Dine and Discover'.
  • Offer more to local and visiting shoppers by filling commercial vacancies, while also attracting more shoppers to existing businesses.

The Listowel BIA was awarded a Libro Prosperity Fund grant of $7,700 to support the “WIN THIS SPACE” project.
