Not only are we asking people to nominate businesses in the above categories, we also want to provide a platform to celebrate businesses who have or are celebrating a milestone anniversary in 2020, 2021 or 2022 as these are achievements to celebrate. “The Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce is celebrating our 70th anniversary this year and we know many businesses who have had milestone anniversaries over the pandemic haven’t been able to celebrate. We want to provide a platform where we can all come together to honour these achievements. We hope that businesses will let us know if they have/are celebrating a milestone anniversary so we can properly recognize them and their contribution to the Bracebridge Business community.” said Brenda Rhodes, Executive Director of the Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce.
“We know that a vibrant, competitive and economically sustainable business community is the foundation for a prosperous Muskoka,” said Nicolette Rushton, President of the Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce. “That is why it’s important to recognize and celebrate the achievements of the businesses we have in Bracebridge. It has been a time like no other, and we want to make sure we take the time to acknowledge and celebrate together”
