When you support local businesses, you’re not just making a purchase—you’re investing in the heart of our community. The Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce is proud to champion the vibrant local economy that makes Brockville a thriving place to live, work, and visit. By connecting businesses, advocating for growth, and fostering a strong sense of community, the Chamber ensures that Brockville remains a hub of opportunity and innovation.
From promoting small businesses and organizing community events to providing resources and networking opportunities, the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to helping local enterprises succeed. Together, we can keep Brockville’s unique charm alive, create jobs, and build a brighter future for everyone. When you shop local, dine local, and support local, you’re not just supporting a business—you’re supporting your neighbors, your friends, and your community.
We’ve partnered with the City of Brockville’s Economic Development Department to ask you: Why do you love supporting local? Whether it’s the personalized service, the unique products, or the pride of knowing your dollars stay right here in Brockville, your support makes a real difference.
We want to hear from you! It’s more important than ever to support local businesses, services, community organizations, and each other as we face uncertainty.

Support Local Toolkit:
Social Media Template
Option 1: Using our Canva template:
- Click here to access the template
- Upload your profile image on the left side in “uploads” (on a mobile device, this option will be along the bottom of your design)
- Select your profile photo from your uploads to add it to your design, and drag the handles on each side of the image to fit the photo to the full size of the design (this will cover up the “Community Strong” graphic. That’s fine, we will fix this in a moment). Be careful not to replace the community strong graphic with your new image. Use the “undo” feature if this happens.
- Double click on your profile photo to move the photo within the new cropped size and to centre your face on the page
- Click once on your profile photo, and from the options that appear above the photo, select “Position” > “To back”. The “Community Strong” graphic should now be in front. (If you need to resize your profile photo to fit within the frame, you’ll have to move the “community strong” graphic to the back first in order to select your photo, and then move it back after you are done).
- Download the file as a .jpeg or .png
- Upload your new photo to your social media profile.
Option 2: Combine the files yourself:
- Download our Community Strong graphic here
- Create a square file in your favourite design software
- Open your profile photo and the Community Strong graphic
- Drop your profile photo into the centre of your square canvas
- Add the Community Strong graphic on top in the centre of the design, and expand the image to fill the canvas, being careful not to distort the image.
- Recenter or resize your profile image as needed
- Save your new file and upload it to your social media profile
