Illuminate Downtown

Guidelines
To be eligible for a grant, a property must be located within the boundaries of the Downtown Victoria Business Improvement Area (click here for map). An application must be received and approved by the General Manager of the DVBA in advance of any work proceeding. The application for assistance must fully outline and illustrate the scope of work and the proposed lighting products. Unless circumstances warrant otherwise, more than one quote is required for proposed services or product. All work must receive necessary heritage and design approvals, as well as building permits from the City of Victoria.

While striving to enhance lighting levels, we will be working with BC Hydro to ensure "power-smart" solutions which minimize power consumption and any light spillage into the sky.

Financial assistance is available to assist with the costs of: retaining professional services of lighting designers, lighting products, and their installation. Grants will be paid upon satisfactory completion of work and presentation of all receipts to the DVBA.
