HAMILTON AREA STEELWORKERS ACTION CENTRE
Helping Steelworkers rejoin the workforce since 2000
Who are we?
Our committee is an employement adjustment committee set up by the Hamilton Steelworkers Area Council. The committee provides job search and re-employement assistance to any laid off steelworker from any USW Local affiliated with the Hamilton Steelworkers Area Council.
The committee has assisted steelworkers from 33 USW Locals. We are currently servicing thousands of laid off steelworkers who have been affected by plant closures or major downsizing.
The committee is sponsered by and funded by the Ontario’s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities(MTCU) and by companies, where there is significant downsizing and the USW Local is able to negotiate a package of support for the adjustment process.
To sum up, the committee provides newly unemployed workers with a co-operative self help approach to dealing with the difficulties of unemployement, ongoing support and counseling during their job search and access to adjustment services that create a more orderly approach to re-employement.

Our Mission
To enhance access to services and strengthen community planning by stewarding an integrated 211 system for the wellbeing of people in Ontario.
Our Vision
Empowered People. Thriving, Caring Communities.
Our Value Proposition
Putting the “Human” Back in Human Services
Unlike search engines, 211 applies a human touch for personalized solutions. Our highly-trained and accredited Community Navigators know how to ask the right questions to get the full picture of a person’s needs. Navigators then provide referrals to services to connect them to the right supports. In addition, some partnerships include 211 registering individuals for services directly or providing a warm transfer to the program. 211 will also advocate on a contact’s behalf, at their request.
We Offer Ontarians Service Choice
211 is available by phone for those looking to speak to a friendly voice or by text, online search, email or chat for those looking for convenience or who feel the stigma of asking for help. This makes our service available to all people of Ontario regardless of their level of digital understanding or ability to access the internet.
211 Makes Accessing Public Services Easy
- For the People of Ontario – Connecting Ontarians to the programs and services they need when they need them.
- For Government and Communities – Providing the data needed to identify service needs and unmet needs, improve responsiveness of support, and deliver better value for taxpayer dollars.
- For Partners – Connecting agencies and non-governmental groups to improve access to services, build connections and gain insights.
