Spruce the Bruce

Spruce the Bruce (STB) is a downtown improvement program created by the County of Bruce with its goal to enact positive change to support livable, economically viable communities.

The STB program focuses on downtown cores-as Main Streets within Bruce County represent over 2/3rds of our commercial assessment and are main point of contact with tourism dollars. The STB Program has been initiated to assist communities with improvements that make them more attractive, pedestrian-friendly, and distinctive.

The Spruce the Bruce team offers expertise, policy development, design support and access to grants to support downtown revitalization projects. The Spruce the Bruce Team is here to help your local champions see the possibilities and create change in your downtown!
