It’s Just Good Cents: Buying Local Matters

Today and every day is a great time to support the businesses that make Bronte a vibrant and thriving community. Whether you’re a resident, visitor or business owner, choosing to shop local helps sustain jobs, strengthens the local economy and keeps our community strong.

Did you know that for every dollar spent at a small business, 66 cents stays in the local economy?

Spend a dollar at a Bronte business and it supports Bronte events (outdoor concerts, movie nights, cultural festivals, community celebrations) and neighbourhood beautification (public art, Muskoka chairs, our Christmas tree, summer flower displays).

Bronte businesses are owned by people who live here and who are passionate about serving their neighbours. On behalf of the 175 merchants of the Bronte BIA, we wish to thank you for your past and future support of our small, independent business owners who make our community as unique as the people they serve – YOU.
