Welcome to the Halton Social Capital Committee

What is Social Capital?

The term "Social Capital" generally refers to the valuable resources that come from forming relationships. While this may seem unclear, the benefits are truly endless. Just think, with the right friends, peers, and networks, accessing resources like property, employment, and opportunities becomes simple. Social capital is the form of capital that creates public goods for a common good. 

How to Get Involved. 

You can get involved by becoming an advocate for social capital in your community. Be an Advocate! Advocacy is simply providing public support for a common goal. Join us in removing barriers for people with disabilities and together we will  move towards a truly inclusive community.
