Who We Are

The Bridgewater Development Association (BDA) is a registered non-profit society. A Board of Directors governs the BDA. Action Teams have been established by the BDA to utilize the skills and input of volunteers to realize the goals set out in our Strategic Directions.

The Board of Directors, the BDA Manager and the many volunteers who drive these strategic directions are proud of accomplishments of the BDA. The Town of Bridgewater, through its Town Council and staff, has been very supportive, involved and visionary in assisting the BDA with its many initiatives. In cooperation with development organizations, various provincial and federal government departments, the BDA has realized many of the goals set over the past few years.

Volunteers are the main ingredient and strength of the Bridgewater Development Association. With more than 80 volunteers representing youth, business, service organizations, business development organizations and education institutions, the pulse of the community is brought to our approach for achieving goals of the BDA.
