SDCs exist to build and strengthen communities. Our mission focuses on the social and economic impact on individuals, families and communities at large.

SDCs are committed:
A desired state of community wellness reflected in the following existing conditions:
The need to have a social planning body came into being subsequent to repeated economic transitions in our community, the most crucial one being the massive job losses and closure of the Domtar Paper Mill in March of 2006 and many other vital manufacturing companies in the SD&G area.
The province of Ontario provided 2 year funding to the City of Cornwall to hire a project manager in 2007 to work with the community to establish a SDC in order to improve our community capacity to respond to current and future socioeconomic transitions. The organization was to be temporarily housed under the Social and Housing Services department. Today, the SDC is permanently housed with the Counseling and Support Services of S.D.& G.
A Board of Directors was formed in early 2006 and is currently standing strong with 13 members that represent several sectors in the community.
