Bridport Innovations and Bridport Pavilion Visitor Information Centre

Bridport Innovations Inc. is a thriving community group of volunteers who are dedicated to enhancing the Bridport  lifestyle and the physical attributes of our community for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.

Without ongoing community support daily activities like the Pavilion Information Centre could soon pass into oblivion.

New members are always welcomed and vital to a thriving community.

Bridport Innovation’s role is to provide residents communication and direction within our community, to represent the common views of our community to all levels of government, to promote tourism and local economic opportunities. Acting as a catalyst, the committee initiates projects resulting from public consultation. Our purpose is to further enhance the lifestyle and physical attributes of our community for the benefit of residents and visitors alike.
