Welcome to the Social Development Council (SDC)

WELCOME to the online home of the SDC of Cornwall & area. We hope you will enjoy your visit!

We are pleased to launch our new website and wish you will use this site as a way to get to know us a little better! We also hope our website allows you to be aware of, gain knowledge of, and connect with many local and province wide community agencies and social matters. Together, we can reach our vision and mission by building a stronger community from the bottom up.

If you wish to get involved with the SDC, volunteer, have ideas or feel that there is a concern that needs to be raised in the community, we would love to hear from you, because your VOICE does matter! After all, “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” — Mahatma Gandhi

Thank you for taking the time to visit and we hope to see you again!
