In 2019 the Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce started a new initiative. Since we believe that when our members thrive our entire community thrives, we felt that one of our new initiatives, @LunchChat, offered valuable information to our members. These half hour lunch chats can be seen wherever you are and can be watched on your mobile device, tablet or computer through Facebook Live Videos.

So what is Facebook Live? It is a feature of Facebook that broadcasts real-time video to Facebook users, and if you follow us on Facebook (and we really hope you do!) you will get an alert saying that a Facebook Live Video will be starting soon from the Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce. During these monthly half hour sessions you can ask ‘real-time’ questions and get an answer right away!  We are excited that we have professionals in their fields, from this community, sharing their expertise and knowledge with you for free! All you have to do is tune in a bit before 12 noon, on the Bracebridge Chamber of Commerce Facebook page normally held on the second Tuesday of each month!
