# Mount Pleasant BIA

> Mount Pleasant BIA is a Business Improvement Area (BIA) in Vancouver, BC: a local association of the businesses in one commercial district. This site publishes the BIA's public business directory, a boundary map, and a public page for each member business.

Every page on this site answers `Accept: text/markdown` with a Markdown rendering (Content-Type: text/markdown; x-markdown-tokens). All endpoints below are public and anonymous; nothing here requires a login or an API key. Content signals: search=yes, ai-input=yes, ai-train=no (see /robots.txt).
