“Be Part of the Solution” is a campaign created by the County of Lambton’s Social Services Division, centered on three key engagement goals: public education, awareness of ongoing and emerging homelessness prevention services, and widespread, whole-community action to address homelessness.

By making information on homelessness more accessible, keeping the public informed of local initiatives, and providing a suite of actions that community members can take (dependent on their capacity to engage with this issue), we hope to convey how homelessness affects the health and well-being of our whole community, and everyone can be part of the solution.

Chamber Members can join us December 16, between 12pm and 1pm for a free webinar exploring homelessness in our community. Questions can be submitted to info@slchamber.ca prior to December 09, 2024.
