New Member Hub for Bracebridge Chamber Members!

Over the past few months, we’ve made significant improvements to our website to better reflect our organization, improve usability, and make it easier for members to access what they need. The Member Information Centre has been updated and replaced with a new, streamlined section of our website called the Member Hub. Instead of individual member logins, the Member Hub is now a single, password-protected page that all members can access. MEMBERS, please reach out to us for the password if you have not already received it.


Within the Member Hub, you’ll find forms to:

  • Update your business directory listing
  • Submit job postings
  • Submit events for our community calendar & newsletter
  • And more resources added frequently - check back regularly for more!
