Data can do more than describe challenges. It can spark conversations, inspire action, and create new possibilities for change.

Through Community Data Watch, Civic Lab publications, and community learning events, Community Development Halton translates research, data, and community stories into meaningful insights that help residents, organizations, and decision-makers better understand the issues shaping our communities.

The Halton Research to Action Fund supports CDH's social planning research and knowledge mobilization work, helping transform data into accessible publications, shared learning opportunities, and community conversations that uncover new pathways forward.

By bringing people together around evidence and lived experience, we're creating opportunities to identify strengths, explore solutions, and take action on the issues that matter most to Halton.

Because when communities understand their story, they can shape their future.

TURNING KNOWLEDGE INTO CHANGE: An evening with Steven Paikin - A Look at the Last Decade in Ontario Politics

The CDH Civic Action Forum is Tuesday September 8, 2026 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. This annual event showcases and celebrates the work of Community Development Halton (CDH) and the CDH Board of Directors invites YOU to this community evening focused on building a more civically informed and engaged Halton.

The evening features keynote speaker Steve Paikin presenting an overview of the last decade in Ontario politics. For more than four decades, Steve Paikin has been a sober voice of rational, fact-based journalism in a world where “alternative facts” too often seem in vogue. He is now the host of The Paikin Podcast, a weekly offering focused on national and international affairs, plus one-on-one interviews. There will be a short Q&A session following the presentation.

The event takes place at Port Nelson United Church in Burlington.

Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased at: https://www.cdhalton.ca/event-details/civic-action-forum-turning-knowledge-into-change
