Ontario Works

The mission of the program is to assist persons in need to realize their goal of financial independence from social assistance through employment.

Under the governance of the Ontario Works Act, we aim to fulfill this mission through the provision of support and assistance in partnership with our clients and community agencies.

The Ontario Works Program has two components. It provides:

Short-term financial assistance to individuals and families in need, and
Support and assistance to program participants in meeting their participation responsibilities under the Ontario Works Act. Participation requirements include seeking employment, basic education, volunteer work, or self employment.
