​Spaces and places committed to inclusion.

The Halton Social Capital Committee believes that individuals with developmental disabilities should experience a sense of belonging wherever they go. ​Welcome Spaces are spaces and places that have made a formal commitment to inclusion practices and recognize the importance of social capital.
