💡 Tourism Tip Tuesday!

You can always talk about the weather! 🌦️

Weather can have a big impact on a visitor’s experience, from the activities they plan to how long they’ll be spending outdoors. Sharing helpful information about conditions, what to wear and what to expect can help visitors feel prepared and make the most of their time in your business or destination.

If you’re sharing weather updates on social media, make sure that information is easy to find on your website, or directs people to your social media to see these updates. Consider adding practical tips to your FAQs or pinning them to your social channels. These small details can help visitors know what to expect, support a positive experience and encourage repeat visits.

It’s also a great way to strengthen your online presence, including how your business shows up in AI-powered searches which are becoming more and more common.

Remember, take a step back and look at your business from a visitor’s perspective. What would someone new to the area want to know before they arrive?

A big day for housing and for the future of Bracebridge!

Today we’re celebrating the groundbreaking of the Memorial Arena Site Redevelopment, an exciting project that will bring much needed new housing right here in the heart of our community.

Housing has been a key advocacy focus for the Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce, because we regularly hear from local businesses about the challenge of finding people to work and from workers who can’t find a place to live in the community where they want to build their careers.

That’s why this project matters so much. With 103 new rental homes proposed, including a minimum of 25% affordable housing in each building, this development will create more opportunities for people to live, work and build their future in Bracebridge while putting residents within walking distance of businesses, services and our downtown.

And perhaps most importantly, this is a great example of what can happen when partners come together around a shared community priority. The project is a collaboration between the Town of Bracebridge, the District Municipality of Muskoka, Greystone Project Management Inc., and our Chamber member, Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North.

The former Memorial Arena was an important part of Bracebridge’s story and community for generations. We’re excited to see this important site given a new purpose that responds to a very real need in our community.

We’re proud to have housing as an advocacy priority and thrilled to see this project move forward.

We can’t wait to watch the Memorial Arena Site Redevelopment take shape and, ultimately, welcome new residents to downtown Bracebridge. 🏡❤️

A look back at a great day on the course! ⛳️
Our 2026 Chamber Golf Day brought local businesses and community members together at South Muskoka Curling & Golf Club for 18 holes, good conversation, friendly competition and plenty of laughs.

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors, volunteers, golfers, South Muskoka Curling & Golf and everyone who helped make the day possible. Your support is what makes events like this happen, and we’re grateful to have so many local businesses behind the Chamber.
And of course, thank you to our event sponsors for helping make it a day to remember.

Until next year! 🏌️‍♀️
