Abstract: Results from a survey (n=534) of randomly selected citizens, 18 and older, in eight health districts in Saskatchewan, Canada are presented. Relationships among several social capital concepts were explored -- in particular the social-psychological constructs of trust, commitment and identity and the action constructs of civic participation, associational activity and experience collaborating with others to solve community problems.
