What is the OWA?
The Office of the Worker Adviser (OWA) is an
independent agency of the Ontario
Ministry of Labour. The OWA provides free services to non-unionized

(formerly called workers' compensation).
The OWA was established in 1985, along with
the Office
of the Employer Adviser (OEA) and the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT).
The OWA is not part of the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
