Ontario Works provides income and employment supports to people in temporary financial need. People receiving financial assistance through Ontario Works participate in a wide range of employment assistance activities, which help them prepare for, find and keep a job.
Ontario Works is delivered at the municipal level through 47 Consolidated Municipal Service Managers (in Northern Ontario, they are called District Social Services Administration Boards), and First Nations delivery agents.
